OK I am a big pest but....

The following pcode use post to /cgi-bin for perl processing. I have an idea
we would never call Perl (which I believe is a real drain on the processor)
I have used two submits one Named Fr and one Pl. Example 1t  would be a
simple but would not be seen by the older browsers.

Example: 1

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Please Choose Interface</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<CENTER><B><H1>Please Choose Interface</H1></B></CENTER>
<FORM NAME="Interface" METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/interface">
<CENTER>
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="Fr" VALUE="Frames">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="Pl" VALUE="Plain Text">
</CENTER>
</FORM>
<<java script here>!>
if Pl != True then
Frames.html
else
plain.html
end if
<<java end>>
</BODY>
</HTML>



Now to my question!  Would it be better to present a simple interface for
client side users or  call  /cgi-bin ?. I really like pages that load fast
and are really simple. With a little <ALT> work we could make this code work
for the blind.  (i.e. readers cannot handle graphics but can read the alt
tags behind them)
The code below uses two image files and makes no call to /cgi-bin. I  am
sure that all browser will work with it and isn't that the point of it all?

Example 2:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Please Choose Interface</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<CENTER><B><H1>Please Choose Interface</H1></B></CENTER>
<BR>
<P>
<CENTER>
<IMG SRC="/images/ButonFr.gif><a href="Frames.html"></A>
<IMG SRC="/images/ButonPL.gif><a href="Plain.html"></A>
</CENTER>
</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
