Using javascript in CGI C script

[janhar]

I want to call a javascript function from cgi c script.
I have this in my html header part,
printf("<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"/cgi-bin/test.js\">");
printf("</script>");

And in the body,
printf("<input type=\"button\" id= \"Btn\" name=\"Button\" value=\"Set\" onclick=\"SetValue();\" size=\"4\">");

In test.js,
function SetValue()
{
alert('button clicked');
}

I don't get the alert message. However if i call alert directly in button onclick without javascript, i get the alert message. How do i get the javascript to work?

Javascript is normally executed on the client, while CGI is server-side. Are you sure you want to do this? If you're doing things server-side, surely you should be executing PHP or Perl scripts directly, not code embedded into your web page - which is for the client to use.
