FAQ cgi Script

[ianb]

I'm trying to add some comprehensive FAQs and want to use something more upbeat than a whole list of fragments.

I am trying to use a script from: www.perlscriptsjavascripts.com

It works well and does everything I want but I can't see how to integrate it into my site.

The output is: http://www.citnexus.co.uk/cgi-bin/faq.cgi

I have tried incorporating into a fragment as html code
Tried calling as a href
Tried copying and pasting the source code (but it obviously goes to pot as soon as you click any of the links)
Tried copying and editing the link into a fragment template.

I could get it to open from a link in a new window but that takes it outside of the web site as far as the customer sees it and I would really like it to look an integral part.

Anyone got any ideas?

Many thanks

I guess you could create a new page, add a fragment, set it to just show the fragment content and in the description put

!!<<a rel="fragment" href="http://www.citnexus.co.uk/cgi-bin/faq.cgi">This text will get replaced by your content</a>>!!

if you want to incorporate the actual faqs in a fragment, you'll ahve to enable server side includes. and include it.

or use ajax.

i'd use ajax. its buzzword compliant.

Thanks for the tips folks.

Looks like the fragment is working, just got to get the formatting of the faqs right now to fit into a page width.

Out of interest, what is Ajax (I thought it was a cleaning agent but perhaps I'm just showing my age!)

Dear Gabriel,

Many thanks for this. I have the FAQs working to an extent but I think the Ajax option is the way ahead.

I'll study your link.

Many, many thanks

Cheers
