RE: CGI scripts?

1.Your Web server software (apachee, iis, pws ) needs
to support cgi. 

2.you need to be able to tell your HTTP server how to 
execute them (i.e. Registry entry, etc...).   

3.you need to place your programs in a folder that has
execute permissions.

I run a small site at work that supports the 
computer operations staff log on multiple campuses.
The default.htm document includes an <iframe> which 
runs the log_entry.cgi script as it's URL. Because no
parameters are initially passed to log_entry the
program writes out html forms containing a selection
list of operator names culled from a text file, and a
selection for one of three shifts. The operator pulls
his/her name from the list, selects a shift that
corresponds to an appropiate task list file, and hits
the submit button.

 log_entry.cgi is called again upon submit, but 
this time with form information passed along
(shift#,operator). log_entry.cgi recognizes the 
added parameters and writes out a new HTML page 
containing a <select> list generated from the shift#
tasks file, a general text entry form for comments,
and a hidden form with the operator's name in it. 

Now when the operator pulls down a task from the 
select list , or makes a comment and hits submit,
a new CGI script is called. This one takes the 
submitted information and appends it to a text
file (the log) along with the operator name, and 
time/date. In order to not be left with a blank
<iframe> this script writes out a short html page
that includes a javascript code equivelent to hitting 
the Page Back button, effectively returning to 
the page that requested it (log_entry.cgi with
parameters)
