Probs w/ ADMIN.CGI -- Come on EXPERTS, chicken? :)
I am unable to get the ADMIN page to do anything but show the opening page. When I click on View/Add/Delete/Modify et cetera for Categories the script hangs. I interrogated the page in IE5 (Win), and was able to see that the HTML is prematurely ended. . .and so no </HTML> is ever sent to the browser. I cannot figure out what is wrong. It is just sending a form to the browser. Ironically, admin.cgi has no problems creating the three-framed page, though.
I have checked the permissions; there is a complete permissions list in the FAQ section that I checked.
Also, add.cgi does not work, either. But search.cgi and jump.cgi "work" --> at least they provide the correct forms. Of course, without anything in the links DB there is nothing for them to do.
Any ideas? <exasperated>

Here is how much code I do get from it before it goes North on me.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Category Database: Add a New Category.</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#DDDDDD">
<form action="http://students.washington.edu/wwv/tjp/bin/links/admin/admin.cgi" method="POST">
<input type=hidden name="db" value="category">
<table border=1 bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding=5 cellspacing=3 width=500 valign=top>
<tr><td colspan=2 bgcolor="navy">
<FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif, arial,helvetica" size=1 COLOR="#FFFFFF">
<b>Category Database: Add a New Category</b>
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<p><center><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="4"><b>
Add a New Category
</b></font></center>

<font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="2">
I know if I take out the following line from the admin_html.pl file within sub html_add_form() I can get an output. . .the line being,
Code:
&html_record_form(&get_defaults);
I then went both the subroutines get_defaults() and html_record_form. I made get_defaults pass any empty key. . .and still nothing. If I comment-out the guts of html_record_form then I get it to kick something out.

Ideas, please! Crazy
