Is it possible...
Is it possible to submit information to a CGI script and recieve the output without actually going to the CGI url?
Say I went to:
www.mysite.com\index.htm
And submitted a form to:
www.mysite.com\my.cgi
But I didn't want it to say:
www.mysite.com\my.cgi
In the Address bar. I wanted it to say:
www.mysite.com\index.htm
Sorry if this text seems really confusing...it's the best I could do, though. :)

you can do THE old trick to hide those ugly urls for your visitors by using frames, where the first frame is your cgi-formstuff and the other frame is a 1-pixel high empty frame. if you do this at your toplevel index.html the addressbar will only show
http://www.mydomain.com/
http://www.mydomain.com/
Location: index.htm\n\n
But, this is other story, how index.htm will be able to display new info ...
