I am using perl CGI because that is what the company wants. I haven't used jsp ever, but I am researching it to teach myself. Then I could introduce it and convince my boss to let me develop in it.
I have used the <img> page over and over to no avail. That is why I was concerned that it was a browser setting or tomcat specific. It should work. Yes we have tomcat installed. I should have realized that most folks on this list are jsp programmers and NOT perl CGI. Oh bother.
