Hello again, Apologies for the delay. I shut my laptop in frustration for the night yesterday.
Here is a chunk of the code: my $html2 = '/Results.tar.gz"> <div style="text-align: center;"><button type="submit">Download Files</button></div> <p style="text-align: center;">Click the button below to View your alignment in JBrowse Viewer</p> <input type="button" value="Open Window" onclick="window.open(\' bioinf6.bioc.le.ac.uk/~srpgrp3/JBrowse-1.11.4/index.html?data=http://bioinf6.bioc.le.ac.uk/~srpgrp3/UserFiles '; my $html4 = '/data&tracks=DNA,transcript_with_no_features,Genes&highlight=\') </body> </html>'; print $html1; print $directory; print $html3; print $directory; print $html2; print $directory; print $html4; Another person in my group had a look at it today and let me know that I hadn't closed the button THING with a ">". Apparently with that it's able to handle the single quotation marks. What a fool! Thanks, James.
