I want to have a button on a web page that executes some code (currently a bash script) but which isn't 'real' CGI in that it doesn't send anything back to the web server. I want nothing at all to happen to the web page when the button is clcked.
Is there some sort of CGI 'output' which does nothing at all?
In Naaardge ATM, so haven't any books to hand, but I recommend 'HTML in easy steps' - takes in html4 strict and html4 loose.
But yes, You can put any number of buttons on, and if you don't want the page to be affected (depending on what you tell the button to do, of course) it will execute the function assigned to it. <phone home, ET>
