OK, This is probably real simple but here goes:

I have Webadverts working if I call it from a browser. I made the changes from the FAQ to the site_html_templates.pl. I have included them below.
When I use <%banner%> in my cgi generated page, all that appears is the ad path. (d:\inetpub\scripts\ad\ads.pl).
%globals = (
date => &get_date,
time => &get_time,
db_cgi_url => $db_cgi_url,
build_root_url => $build_root_url,

site_title => $build_site_title,
css => $build_css_url,
banner => \&insertadvert,

);
***************
sub insertadvert {
#-- -------------------------------------------------------------------
#Sub routine for web adverts
my $ad= 'd:/inetpub/scripts/ad/ads.pl';
$ad=~s,Content-type:\stext/html,,;
return $ad;
}


Any help would be appreciated.

You need to use backhash, like the following:


NOT single quotation marks.

Or use the following HTML codes in your cgi generated pages (from the other WebAdverts FAQ, which is in the Resource Center):

Thanks!
I think I will name my first born after you. She's 17 now but she'll get used to it.

Any ideas why the link works in IE but shows a broken link in NS?

Also...
In IE I get a "Status: 301 Found Location: http://www.olsi.com" instead of the page...

Well...which codes are you using? If the former, I do not. If the latter, I have tried the codes in MIE 4.0 and they work just fine. The problem could be is that the version of browser you are using does not support INFRAMES.

Uh...IFRAMES are supported in Netscape. I have tested it in Netscape 4.0,4.5,4.7, and in MIE 4.0 and above.

Try the codes again.

BTW: You are still not using the backhashes in the first codes you tried! Use backhashes NOT single quotation marks.

I'm using NS 4.7 and IE 5. Apparantly the iframe tag is not supported in netscape so I am going back to the <%banner%> tag. I changed my code to reflect the changes that you said and still nothing. You can see what happens by going to http://www.olsi.com/scripts/modify.cgi
Here is my modified sub routine.
sub insertadvert {
#-- -------------------------------------------------------------------
#Sub routine for web adverts
my $ad= '/d:/inetpub/scripts/ad/ads.pl';
$ad=~s,Content-type:\stext/html,,;
return $ad;
}

Made the changes to the site_html_template and now I get "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect". I have checked and double checked and the path is correct. Any ideas. Code included below:

sub insertadvert {

# Sub routine for web adverts
my $ad = `/d:/inetpub/scripts/ad/ads.pl`;
$ad=~s,Content-type:\stext/html,,;
return $ad;
}

Take out the backward \ before d:/
