About the Book

Authors Note Warning! Dont use Windows Notepad with these scripts. Many Windows users have experienced problems using MS-Notepad and MS-Wordpad to edit the text files on this CD-ROM. Instead use the PFE editor (included on the CD-ROM), MS-Word, or other editor that understands UNIX text format. Everything you need to add advanced Perl CGI and JavaScript functions to your Web site-no programming or UNIX experience required! Youll find the scripts and all the tools you need on the included CD-ROM. Step-by-step instructions to configure and install a wide range of useful, industrial-strength, full-featured JavaScript and Perl scripts including: a complete on-line store-with on-line, secure credit card transactions a Web site search engine a universal HTML form processing script a floating Web site directory panel a programmable image display script a scrolling browser message a visitor counter The authors walk you through the steps of the script installation process, explaining how and why they work. Reading this book, you will learn not only how to customize and use the scripts, but also how to work with other scripts you find on the Internet. In addition, what you discover about the Internet, HTTP, CGI, and both client-side and server-side scripts will help you enhance your pages more easily. All the necessary "tricks of the trade" are also presented, such as questions to ask your Internet Service Provider-even the business reasons for and uses of each script.
