Abstract
The present chapter explains how to build graphical user interfaces as Web pages. For example, we shall create an interactive Web interface to a computational service and display the results graphically. Interactive or dynamic Web pages can be realized in different ways:
-
by Java applets that are downloaded and executed on the client’s computer system
-
by JavaScript code as part of the HTML code in the Web page
-
by programs on the Web server communicating with the Web page through a Common Gateway Interface (CGI).
