Book Description
"Weil and Baron actually deliver on the book's subtitle. This book solved over a dozen problems I had been having with our Web site that no other source could adequately resolve." -- Greg Ewing, Webmaster and Manager, Electronic Publishing, Western Digital Corporation.

"This book definitely succeeds in reaching a general audience with moderate computer skills. The style of writing and the presentation make the examples easy to deploy." -- Jim Buyens, author of Building Net Sites with Windows NT and Running Microsoft FrontPage 97

Everything you need to add advanced Perl CGI and JavaScript functions to your Web site-no programming or UNIX experience required! You'll 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; and 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.
