call cgi w/o leaving page, then writing something back to page.

[hogtied]

Hello members,

I was wondering if there was a way to call a cgi scriptwithout leaving the page. Then have the cgi do a check and change a layer from hidden to visiable on the page that which the cgi was called from. (Did I make sense?)

Thanks,
Hogtied

i think that you can do this with PHP...

<script language=php>
</script>

or VBScript ..

but i dont think you can do it with any common gateway interfaces.

you could make a flash script that calls the CGI script and let it update automatically?

I hope that wasnt' the answer because I can't use php with-in my html. My web hosting service only allows php files in the cgi bin. no where else.

Thanks for responding
