Greetings:

I have a Perl script that automatically inserts a message into a page when it is loaded. The current statment looks like this:

code:

$Input{'step'} = "Step 3 of 3 - Print This Page!";
[/code]

In the web page, the above message is inserted wherever I indicate Quote: <!-- STEP -->Quote: 

I would like to replace this statement with something like:

code:$Input{'step'} = "<SCRIPT><!--\n"
if (window.print) {
document.write('<form>Do not forget to '
+ '<input type=button name=print value="Print" '
+ 'onClick="javascript:window.print()"> this page!</form>');}
// End -->
</script><NOSCRIPT>Don't foget to PRINT this page!</NOSCRIPT>

[/code]

This way the user will get the JavaScript print button that will bring up their local print driver.  When I try the above code, I get 500 error back from the server.  I proably have forgotten something simple, but can't get what it might be.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
