Scripting
Tool's
Available to Users
There are several scripting tools available
on the CALS server to aid in webpage creation. However,
these tools
can often create scripts with security holes so all scripts
are subject to review to insure the integrity of the Server.
If you need access to these tools you can contact the Network
Lab via e-mail or phone. This is on a case by case request.
It is assumed you know how to use these as these are for
advanced users.
TOOLS:
CGI: Common
Gateway Interface
The following CGI's are available to CALS users and contain
detailed instructions on how to include them in your
web site.
- Formhandler -- instructions for creating and posting a
web form to a flexible and customizeable program.
- Counter -- to keep track of hits on your webpages.
- Guestbook -- to allow visitors to leave messages
for others to see.
- Imagemap -- to create a clickable image.
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose
scripting language that is especially suited for Web
development and can be
embedded into HTML.
JSP: JavaServer Pages
JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology lets you put snippets
of servlet code directly into a text-based document. A
JSP page is a text-based document that contains two types
of text: static template data, which can be expressed in
any text-based format such as HTML, WML, and XML, and JSP
elements, which determine how the page constructs dynamic
content.
