How to interface HTML with C
Hi,
I have developed a project in C (backup tool), i want to develop a GUI for my application. The GUI should have "windows explorer" kind of interface to select different folders (and files) for backup process (one of the feature of my application). My plan is to port the same application to Linux also in future. The GUI should be appealing, powerful enough to show "windows explorer" kind of GUI.
Now the question is, Which is the best technology (html or java) ? As I told earlier the project what i have developed is in C, i should be able to interface C with GUI and GUI should be portable (windows, linux).
If it is HTML ? which technology i should depend upon - javascript, asp, jsp, applet, etc
If it is Java ? again which technology i should depend upon - awt, swing, jfc, jsp, etc
Kindly suggest me any good sites / books also.

Damn ... pardon me. I was really confused.
CGI is not computer graphis interface but common gateway interface. Sorry :)

Firstly, what is 'windows explorer' kind of interface ?.
In my PC, Windows explorer is a program with a folder tree on the left and file list on the right. It seems reasonable for a backup program. However you ask about HTML. The one that display a HTML document for me is Internet Explorer. So ... yeah ... I'm confused.
Anyway, you have a good collection of terminology (or jargon). Please allow me to add one more. It's called CGI (computer graphic interface). That's the old fashioned way to interface HTML to C.
