if i have builded my page with fireworks/dreamweaver, how can i drop the data i gain from a cgi-mysql script on the frame or layer i want it to apear in.
i only know how to build the pages from cgi itself (with echo) but not how to handle the data to apear within a existing webpage in the object i want it to or to prozess it with a java-script or so.
hope you can understand my question as my english isnt the best.
I changed the title to show you are lookin for perl help, some folk should be along soon. ;)
sub header {
open HEAD, "header.html";
while (<HEAD>) {
print;
}
close HEAD;
}
a similar one can be made for the "footer" and then call one at the beginning and one at the end of each script.
There are also frameworks that help you with this kind of stuff. For instance, there is template toolkit (http://template-toolkit.org/) which is a CGI (or mod_perl module) that you can use to make your pages into templates with perl stuff in the middle. It's a pretty good way to build a bunch of dynamic pages.
There are tons of methods for this problem, and everyone seems to have their favorite. I hope this points you into a good direction.
Not what you're looking for but it's a quicker way to build the frontend, leaving more time for coding perl.
...or, use PHP as you suggested. There is support for that within DW, see the macromedia site for information.
