It appears that you are attempting to follow my response to your previous question Getting the link to work.

Again, phrasing the question correctly is important.

In this example (and in my suggestion), you are NOT "calling one cgi from another".

What you are doing is presenting the user with a web page that contains links that the user can click. These links will call the second cgi. This is very different from "one cgi calling another", because there is a user interaction in between.

Anyway, to answer this question, yes, both are possible and valid scenarios - either calling a different script directly, or after user interaction, as you are attempting.
