Right. I'm trying to make a little image gallery thing that pops up and, depending on the URL, displays a different picture each time. The information gets sent to an SHTML file in the address bar and then in the SHTML file, uses an SSI to run a script, which takes the param() from the address bar.
The script works all okay, but for some reason it doesn't send the information from the address. I thought this might be because I sent it to the SHTML file instead of directly to the CGI file, but then I tried sending the information when using an SSI in the SHTML doc and it still doesn't work.
I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong at all. Any ideas, oh great wizards of web programming?

Well I was going to have Next/Previous links o nthe pop-up page, active depedning on which picture it is.
How do you mean by "other sections"?
If you're opening a new window for your gallery, surely the original web page would be the same?

That would get the image alright, but I still need to find a way to change other sections of the page depending on which image is displayed.
Make sure you generate an ![]()
element with a src attribute that points directly to your Perl script, with GET-method form parameters which tell your script what to do. eg.
The myscript.pl script can then look at the generateimage and imageid parameters exactly as it would if they had been submitted via a form.
The script then gets enough info to know what to do when the browser executes the script to get the image.
