Hi Andy,
I'll give it a try and let you know. I just tried the current version
of the script (the one that IE Mac has a problem with) on a PC and it
works great. So it seems to just be IE Mac. So I'll try the new thing
and let you know.

Not sure why you want to bother with javascript in there. ICBW, but I
don't think it buys you anything. And some of your family may decide to
turn javascript in their browsers off.

$path is a system path, right? As in, like, not relative to the

I'm not at home (where the server is) so I'll give that a try, too. The
drawback on this method would be that I would only be able to use it on

at home, but not so well with a paid outside hosting service. But I'm

I tried your changes, but not go. On a PC, a 0k file is saved. On a

Hey Mark -
A few things.
- You want to open the file for reading, not to write.
- You should undef $/ to slurp the file if you're using < > to read.
- You should stat the file before opening it to add the Content-Length
header, if you want.
- For larger files, it would make more sense to use read
