Dear Fellow Monks,

I have come to you with numerous problems before that through blindness and lack of vision (mostly the first) I hadn't been able to solve. And I am very greatful for all the help I have gotten so far.

This time though I not really sure that it is a problem that would qualify to be here, but how and ever...

I've been working on this picture viewer for the Internet. With the following functions:

The script I use to view the albums and the full size images are one in the same.
Now the problem that I have is that the script works perfectly when viewing the thumbnails but when you go and click on an image to view is full size I get this "Would you like to download this file pop-up-box". Asking would I like to download a file named "albums" with no file type from http://eoinmurphy.netfirms.com

Now I've gone through the script looking for anything that might cause this but I've drawn a blank.
(I know that I am going to get a bollocking for not using CGI to generate shtml but that's not the problem. It worked before but I've done quite a bit of changing and it doesn't wor now)

Heres the code

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; use CGI; my $q = new CGI; my $status = $q->param('status'); my $album = $q->param('album') ; my $img = $q->param('pic') ; my $user = $q->param('user') ; my @html; my $row; my $src; my $pic; my $html; my $viewersrc = "http://eoinmurphy00.netfirms.com/albums/$album/$img"; if ($status eq "viewall"){ $html = viewall(); } elsif ($status eq "viewer"){ $html = viewer($viewersrc, $user); } print qq(Content-type: text/html\n $html); sub viewall{ my $pic; my $dir = "../www/albums/$album"; opendir DIR, "$dir" or die $!; my @images= grep /\.img/, readdir DIR; closedir DIR; my $ttlcounter = "0"; my $tmpcounter = "0"; foreach $pic (@images) { $src = "http://eoinmurphy00.netfirms.com/albums/$album/$pic"; if ($tmpcounter == 3) { $tmpcounter = "0"; $row = qq(</tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>\&nbsp;</td> <td><a href="http://eoinmurphy00.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/a +lbums.cgi?status=viewer&album=$album&pic=$pic&user=$user"><img src="$ +src" width="175" height="129"></a></td> <td>\&nbsp;</td> <td>\&nbsp;</td>);

If everything seems to be going well, you obviously don't know what the hell is going on.
