Hi

I'm using the following script (pared down) to open up a framed window in my browser.

When I view it on IE for Mac OS 9.1 all is well. However on Win XP IE I get two 'page not found' s & Firefox give blank screens. I have also tried with my $host = $ENV{ 'SERVER_NAME' }; to no avail!

When I uncomment the named host however both browsers show the pages ok.

I'm trying to make this script generic over several sites so I don't particularly want to name the host every time. Could anyone tell me what is going wrong and how I might get round this?

Thanks

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use CGI qw/:standard :netscape/;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

my $root = $ENV{ 'DOCUMENT_ROOT' };
my $host = $ENV{ 'HTTP_HOST' };
#$host = 'mysite.com.au';
my $page = 'index.html';

    print title('Title'),
    frameset({-rows=>'40%,60%'},
         frame({-name=>'left',-src=>"http://www.$host/start.html"}),
         frame({-name=>'right',-src=>"http://www.$host/$page"})
         );
