Re: [WEB400] Question on CGIDEV2

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Trust me, I use Firefox (mozilla actually, same thing) for
development.  :) But when doing what I described, you need
to make sure it works for all browsers, especially IE,
which most use and will for some time to come.

I explained in my response to Mel why I am looking for how
to do this with CGIDEV2.  (not Javascript escape(), if
that's what you meant).

Sort of like a source viewer for files on the system.  If
you are listing files and click on them to view, I'd like
to call one CGI program that passes in the file name, the
app loads that file as the "template", and then displays
it...  if there is any Markup in it, it needs to be
converted to be displayed properly.
