I am trying to install the deadlink.cgi mod. I'm running into some trouble when I call the deadlink.cgi script. You can try it yourself at:

http://www.scutwork.com/cgi-bin/links/deadlink.cgi?ID=1384

Any input is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Adrian Zai

Oops...one problem.

Okay...delete the following codes from the deadlink.cgi file:

1) $title_linked
2) $title_linked = &build_linked_cgi_title ("Report Problem Link");

and all other lines that include #2.

I forgot to strip those codes out of the Mod before giving it to you...

BTW: This is one of the last Mods I am writing for LINKS. I am done writing Mods for people. I will make the corrections in this Mod and upload a new set of files...but after that I am done.

Good luck!

Regards,

Hi Eliot,

Thanks a lot for the help. The script works great now! I'm sorry to learn you're not going to write anymore mods for links. I hope you will stick around to answer questions once in a while. You've been a great help.
Just curious though, you're an anthropologist? How did you end up knowing so much about perl?

Adrian

I am an applied anthropologist...I learned about Perl, CGI, HTML, Java, and other programming languages while attending graduate school. My focus in anthropology is computer-mediated communications(CMC) emphasizing in web/internet communications.

Cool! 8) Wish I did the same while I was in grad school. All I did was mostly bench work. Now, if only you could apply your talent in the medical field too...

Many anthropologist do...There is a complete sub-discipline called medical anthropology, with its own professional society called the Society for Medical Anthropology.

If you look at my anthropology portal, you will see the breadth and depth of anthropology...

Anyway...back to LINKS, okay...This is really off-topic.

One other edit to make in your deadlink_form.html...

Delete the onSubmit="return formCheck()" codes.

Or if you want to use the Javascript I use in my site...and also used in this site...add the following codes BEFORE the </HEAD> codes:

Thanks Eliot. I didn't even notice that was missing.

Actually...it was my fault for leaving that code in there. I will be editing the deadlink files soon to make sure that people don't get Javascript errors.

Regards.
