CGI or "Common Gateway Interface" is a
'behind the scenes' programming technique to liven up your pages.
LiveNet (the sister company of Global Network Access) has developed CGI scripts and programs on a variety of platforms an OSs. Take a look at some CGI programs in action currently running on web pages.
The "Quicktip" section of LiveNet's pages is a simple yet useful example
of CGI programming. This program inserts a random snippet of text or html code
into a web page as it
is being downloaded into a browser. (Hit your browser's reload button to
see it in action, when you visit LiveNet's site.)
