Browser drawing problems
I am using perl to write out to the browser through the use of print statements
print "HTML\n";
print <
HTMLCode
I am also using so subroutines like "&Print_Head;" that I made.
It all works fine except for when I first launch the browser. My page draws and then every thing goes white. I tried in multiple browsers and I still get the same results. So I took the HTML from the browser source and ran it through a validator and I get no errors. It's like I need an automatic refresh once the page is finished loading. Or maybe there is a more efficient method of delivery like storing the output in a file? Has anyone ever had this problem?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Make sure you have
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
before you print any html outout.

Yeah I have that in there. I think I may have fixed it. I had a few HTML errors in there. Does anyone know of a good HTML validator? The one I am using sucks.
Thanks

I would recommend the pro version. Don't turn off any switches.
