If you want to spice up your WebPages then this is the way to go. If you are fairly proficient at HTML programming, using these scripts should not be too difficult.

    JavaScript gives you the ability of using mouseover effects on your image links. This is how webmasters create buttons that change color or appear as though they are being pressed in when you mouse over or click on them. JavaScript also allows you to put active elements such as banner rotators, quizzes, shopping carts, marquees, etc on your pages. Be forewarned that some old browsers do not support JavaScript. For your information, Netscape 3.0 and Internet Explorer 3.0 do not support JavaScript. Netscape 4.0 only has limited support for JavaScript. All of the latest versions of these browsers provide adequate support for JavaScript.
    Java Applets are programs that you reference in the HTML of your WebPages and run on your pages. These include clocks, calendars, some videos, banner rotators, etc. Java applets are files that have to be placed on the webserver in with your HTML pages and are referenced by the HTML coding on your WebPages. The files or source code of these applets are pretty much un-editable unless you are proficient in de-compiling and compiling, something that yours truly stays far enough away from. Java applets require a higher level of understanding and proficiency to incorporate into your website than JavaScript. Be forewarned that some old browsers do not support Java applets. For your information, Netscape 3.0 and Internet Explorer 3.0 do not support Java applets. Netscape 4.0 only has limited support for Java applets. All of the latest versions of these browsers provide adequate support for Java applets.
    CGI scripts are generally written in perl language. These scripts can do about anything you want done including database management, shopping carts, forms processing, etc. Installing and editing CGI scripts is not for the beginner. If you have a working knowledge of using JavaScript and Java applets, you should not find CGI scripts too difficult but remember you are working in a new language (perl) that has its own rules. When editing a CGI script it is advised to make one change at a time then check to see if everything is functioning correctly. If so then make the next change and so on. CGI scripts must be uploaded into an executable directory called the cgi-bin and must be set-up EXACTLY as the instructions specify. Good Luck !
