[thelist] Perl, SSI, Paths and JS?

This you won't be able to fix unless you modify the CGI source (which
should be really easy). It appears that the script was coded under the
assumption that it would run standalone - people would go directly to the
script, and the script would refer to itself. When you use SSI's, you
challenge the script's assumptions.

Ah. This line of code should solve both your problems:

  <a href=\"javascript:openWindow2('/cgi-bin/
                      $script_name\?$tnlist[($anum * 1]')\">

Note that this is ONE LINE! I've split it up and indented it for
readability. You had the right idea on your modifications, but you just got
the quotes mixed up.

Lemme know if it works out for you...
