how to interact with JavaScript?

Some resources for CGI and JavaScript that I have used and found useful
are:

http://wsabstract.com/cutpastejava.shtml
-	Site with lots of JavaScript 'recipes'.

http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/
-	The CGI.pm web page, with links to examples and descriptions.

http://www.wiley.com/compbooks/stein/source.html
-	Examples of CGI.pm scripts (see especially the JavaScript form
validation example at the bottom of the page).
