This is as much a moan as a question, but any input would be welcome. I have just learnt that our main server in France 'Wanadoo' - the one owned by the national telephone company (who also make us pay around $2 an hour for calls - writing this gibberish is costing me a fortune) - Ok so they don't accept CGI scripts - except their own 'for security reasons' or so they say. Apparently this is quite common with servers in France! So my sweet amateurish little home page has a counter and visitors book done in CGI/Perl. 1. Am I likely to find the same problem with servers in other (dare I say) more advanced countries. 2. If for some misguided reason I wanted to use a server in France is there a way round it - Javascript?
