| Programming Services... |
| Most Interactive functions that allow a visitor to your site to ask for information or order something are accomplished using programming that allows their Browser to communicate with your site. This type of programming generally uses a server function called the Common Gateway Interface, or CGI. The code resides on the server, and is called from special HTML code in your page that the visitor is viewing. |
| Because of this, there are a couple of limiting factors that govern what the WebWeaver can do for your site: |
 Your ISP's restriction/permission to access their CGI-BIN Directory.
This is where the CGI programs are stored...if your ISP doesn't allow us to store a custom program, then your custom function won't work, unless a suitable Client-Side JavaScript or Java Applet can be fashioned... |
Your ISP's restriction/permission to access their IMAGEMAP Directory
Some mapped Images require that the MAP definitions reside in a special directory on the ISP's server. If we can't access that directory, we can't provide those functions...Again, newer technology allows us to code a Client-Side IMAGEMAP that will function for specific Browsers...
Aside from those, given the needed access, the only restriction is your imagination. |
| The WebWeaver can program: |
 Interactive E-mail FORM support
Interactive Information Requests (Forms)
Interactive Responses to Information Provided
Database or Search Querys
JavaScript RollOver Images
Custom JavaScript or ASP Pages
Mapped 'clickable' Images for navigating your site - Server-side or Client-side
|
| Most ISP's are reluctant to provide access to their server's directories...especially for a 'personal' page...If your ISP says no, let us try to talk to their technical staff...sometimes we can work out an arrangement... |
