in reply to javascript to execute perl cgi script

Hi,

athomason is absolutely right.
I would like to point out thought that there is 'client side javascript'(in your browser) and 'server side javascript'(runs on the server).

Server Side JavaScript is something the people from Netscape cooked up, and you need special software(LiveWire i think) to run it. As far as I know, it never really took off, seeing how there were better alternatives(perl).

Anyway, an alternative to SSI(Server Side Includes) is to use frames, or layers. You could use regular frames or a combination of IE's inline frames( <IFrame SRC='path_to_your_.cgi'> ) and Netscape specific <layer src='path_to_your_.cgi'>.

For IE you could also use a <div src='path_to_your_.cgi'> tag, but netscape won't recognize the src attribute.

Anyway, check out www.blooberry.com for any of your future HTML questions. It's an excellent reference with HTML version and browser support/peculiarity info....
