There are probably a number of ways to do this, but since
it is not something I've dealt with, I'll leave it to others
that can (possibly) point you to a 'plug-in'.

I think this is javascript that uses cgi - ..

Quite possibly a CGI script will be involved, but steer clear
of anything that mentions Javascript in this instance. The only
server on which Javascript might be usable is MS-IIS, and your host
is running Apache. (Javascript can do some amazing things in the
client's browser, but it is not a good language for this)

On the subject of CGI scripts though, the 'control panel' of your
site might have a section on plug-in scripts, and there just might
be something suitable amongst them.

Thank you - I will look at the control panel options and if anyone
else out there knows exactly how to do this - I thank you in advance..
