HTTP Headers Appearing Since Upgrade
I'm hardly an expert, but I've tested the following:
<html>
<head>
<title> checkbox navigation</title>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function clickNav (){
location.href="http://www.rumney.org";
}
-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
check this box:
<input type="checkbox" name="box1" id="box1" value="whatever"
onclick="clickNav()">
</body>
</html>
Of course, a page with a function like this can be generated as part of a
perl script and the URL following location.href can itself be a perl
script with inputs if needed to pass along scalar values used or generated
by the first script. Clumsy? I'm no judge! Are there other, better ways of
getting a checkbox to call a script?
