Hughes Technologies Pty Ltd. The first generation product provided a simple programatic interface to the mSQL database system from within an HTML document. W3-mSQL achieves this by providing a complete programming language embedded within an HTML document. The language, called Lite, is similar is style and syntax to the C programming language and the ESL scripting language. What's more, you can mix normal HTML code with W3-mSQL code so that you only need to use the CGI styled approach where you actually have to. Scripting Tags To facilitate the W3-mSQL extensions to normal web pages, Lite code is included in your HTML code.
Any output generated by the program is sent to the user's browser.
The remainder of the page is sent to the browser unmodified. To execute the script depicted in figure 1 you must not just specify the path to the file in the URL as you would normally do. If you do that, your browser will just be sent the unprocessed HTML document. To execute the script you must specify a URL that executes the W3-mSQL binary and tells it to load and process your script. Form Data One thing virtually all CGI type programs have in common is that they process the contents of an HTML form.
