FunScroll

You can generate message lines from CGI scripts, specified using the lineData parameter. Since a server that supports CGI is required to run them, all you will see on this CD are error messages. To actually see these applets with a cgi script go to the applet author's site at "http://www.algonet.se/~jannea/FunScroll/FunScroll.html" .

The CGI script is in the first example is a simple PERL script ,who.cgi, to display the number of users who are currently logged. The script is called when the applet is initialized.

The CGI script in the second example is a simple shell script, date.cgi, designed to display the current time. The updateInterval parameter executes the CGI script at specified intervals. In this case "1" is specified. In other words the applet will read from the CGI script once per animation frame.
