What on Mars (I mean Earth) are java, DHTML or CGI scripts?

Java-scripts were invented by Sun Microsystems in the 1990's. They are used to make special effects when you are designing a site. DHTML scripts are very similar to java scripts. When you search for a site in YAHOO or when you send an e-mail in HOTMAIL, the computer uses a CGI script. You need to write down a java script or DHTML in the HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) of your web site. For CGI scripts you need to upload a *.pl file and refer to it in your HTML.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT TERRIFIC EFFECTS A SCRIPT CAN DO, JUST BE BOTHERED TO CLICK ON "TRY IT YOURSELF".
