Javascript is client-side scripting, not server-side, so the file can't be
located in your CGI-BIN directory. Put it somewhere in your regular static
document path and reference that URL instead. If you load a file from the
cgi directory, the webserver will try to execute it server side and return
the output to the browser (which will fail in this case).
