Several CGI scripts have been created by the Union to support its Web site. Each link below leads to documentation for incorporating one of these scripts into any Web site.
email - sends e-mail containing appropriately labelled form fields
goto.pl - enables implementation of "jump tables" using HTML Selection Lists.
In addtion, HUC-JIR has created the following script which can be useful for congregational websites:
calendar - this script can be used to display a month of events maintained in a simple database file in month-by-month and week-by-week calendars. Hebrew dates are displayed along with secular dates and Jewish holidays.
Links are provided to pages that use each of these scripts; you are encouraged to "view" the "source" HTML of those pages to see specific examples of how the scripts are used.
The popular formmail.pl CGI script is also available which offers more features than the Union email.pl, some of which can be useful in particular applications. However, for this reason its use also may require more time to understand and integrate into a website.
