Creating a web script can add information to a page when readers use it or allow readers to enter information, such as to navigate to the online ordering department of an online business.

CGI (Common Gateway Interface) provides a mechanism. It transmits requests and responses between the reader's web browser and the web server providing the page. The CGI component on the server contains small programs called scripts, which pull information from the browser system or provide information to display.

A simple script can ask for the name, identify the Internet address of the system the reader uses, and give a greeting. Scripts can be written in any programming language, but, since they are often simple word processing processes, computer scripting languages like PERL are particularly suitable. .

Another approach is to use the language designed for web scripts to be executed by the browser. JavaScript, designed by Netscape Communications Corp., is such a language. It can be used with both Netscape and Microsoft browsers.
