I receive a "%1 is not a valid Win32 application" error. Why?
This is because your (Windows) server is not set up to execute scripts with a .cgi extension (or possibly no cgi scripts at all), and is likely to only recognize files that have a .pl extension. If you purchased one of our scripts and it has a .cgi extension, let us know you need the .pl version and we'll send it to you.
If you're the sys admin or have admin privileges, try this :
1.Start Regedt32.exe and open (or search for) the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC
\Parameters\ScriptMap
2.Click Add Value from the Edit menu.
3. If the Value Name is .pl, change it to .cgi
4.The Data type should be REG_SZ.
5.The String value should be \perl.exe %s %s
6.Restart the WWW service.
How do I use your Header and Footer options?
Think inside of the square. Headers and footers are not meant for just the top and bottom of each page. They can also include left or right side menus. The best way to achieve this is to split a table. Design yourself an HTML table similar to the following.
| Header |
Header |
Header |
| Header |
<- end Header -- Split here -- start Footer -> |
Footer |
| Footer |
Footer |
Footer |
If your page layout was similar to the above example, the HTML code would look something like this :
<table border="1" height="200" width="360">
<tr>
<td>Header</td>
<td>Header</td>
<td>Header</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Header</td>
<td><- end Header -- Program content -- start Footer -></td>
<td>Footer</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Footer</td>
<td>Footer</td>
<td>Footer</td>
</tr>
</table>
The space between the Header and Footer is where the content will appear. For example, if you have a caption that reads "Look at what my script generated" you will put your entire HTML up to that line (and including that
line) in the Header and the rest of your HTML will go into the Footer.
