urgent - permission denied for call server

HI

Im using formAPI & cgi to dynamically populate a drop down menu on the DCT.

It throws a "permission denied" javascript error.

Both the files are on the same server & permission 775 is set for the cgi file. The development is on Teamsite 5.5.2 on Solaris.

Kindly some one let me know what the reason could be.

Thanks in advance...

This might be completely different from what it looks like. Sometimes, I get a JS permission denied error when I have something so simple as a self.resizeTo call in the wrong place.

Post your API and your CGI and hopefully someone can address your problem.

Thanks Dave.

Im attaching the cgi file as well the form api js file.

Some one please help ... i tried giving alerts inbetween to trace where the error appears & on calling the parent.scriptFrame it throws the "permission denied" error.

Thanks in advance

Hi Meha,

Well instead of using

parent.getScriptFrame().populateCategory(categories,categoriesVal);

try using

self.opener.populateCategory(categories,categoriesVal);

It should work.

Hi,

I feel the following code of yours could be the problem cause

var categories = new Array();
var categoriesVal = new Array();
categories='@cato';
categoriesVal='@catoVal';
alert("in cgi file");

in newsCategory.cgi.

Move those array/string objects into function scope, in yours case 'callOnLoad' function.

I did not test with this approach but still I feel this will solve your issue.

Hi Meha,

I'm sorry for previous wrong information.

Can you please try this now:

opener.top.getScriptFrame().populateCategory(categories,categoriesVal);

post your code and someone may be able to help.

Have you tried to use the examples from the manual ? They are pretty straightforward and usually easy to implement

I get an error through this simple script:

#!D:\iw-home\iw-perl\bin\iwperl.exe

use CGI qw/:standard/;
print header();
print start_html(-title=>'Test');
print end_html;
exit 0;

I get the permission denied error only when i try to launch this from one of the Teamsite menu item and simply close the page.
Lauching this as such from the browser does not cause this error.

The error is:
Line: 1207
Char: 9
Error: Permission Denied
