This document discusses WYSIWYG authoring tools and CGI. WYSIWYG tools allow visual creation of web pages by drawing layouts and typing text without coding. Dreamweaver is a leading tool that provides both graphical and code editing interfaces. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) was introduced in 1993 as a standard for running simple interactive web applications on the server-side using various programming languages like C and Perl. CGI sits between the browser and server, receiving request details from the browser and returning output to it.

11. CGI...
CGI is a standard interface that sits between the web browser and the web server.
When the browser makes a request of the server, all of the request details flow into the server
through the input interface of the CGI.
When the server responds with its output, the information flows back out through the output
interface of the CGI.
CGI scripts are used to resolve form data, put that data in to databases, send the data out as an
email message, respond to the form entry with email or another Web page, and much more.
