UPOINT:: CGI Scripts: FAQ

Title: @1 Newscroller: Frequently-asked questions
Please check this section before you email us for technical help.

The newsscroller is working. But I get a "Page Not Found" error whenever I click on any of the detail page links.
- By default, Javascript files (*.js) and your SHTML page should be in the same folder. If you have installed them in different folders, the default links will be broken.

To solve this problem, do either one of these:
1) Place the JS files and your SHTML file in the same folder.
2) Hover your mouse pointer over the link and see the link text that appears in you taskbar (if you are using Windows). Then try to trace the similar text in the script and modify it accordingly. For example,

change: javascript:popUp(\'$path_to_script?

to: javascript:popUp(\'http://www.yourdomain.com/yourfolder/newscroller.cgi?

The newscroller is working fine in the sample "scroller.htm" page but not on my own SHTML page.
- Please see the answer above.

The newscroller is not working and I keep getting Javascripts errors.
- Do you have any other Javascripts in the same page that conflicts with the newscroller?
- Possible wrong file reference. Please see the answer above.

I can only see the words "Undefined" scrolling in the scroller.
- For the newscroller to work, you must have at least 3 news defined.
