LiveHTML

• A static Web page.
• Another LiveHTML Web page.
• A script that is executed on the server and outputs HTML. This script may but need not conform to the CGI standard.
• A system variable, for example: FMODDATE.

A Web page that is to use LiveHTML must be parsed by the WebServer. For this reason, it differs slightly from ordinary Web pages written in HTML, which the WebServer simply delivers to the browser. To have the LiveHTML tags executed on the server, you must use the WebServer Manager to specify that a given Web Listener is to parse files for LiveHTML. You have the option of having the Listener parse all files or just those with certain extensions.

Enabling users to execute scripts on the server can create security and other risks. For this reason, you can specify that a specific Listener allows only "crippled" includes. This means that LiveHTML parsed by that Listener will be able only to call static HTML, environment variables, or other server parsable files, not executable scripts.

You frequently use LiveHTML when you have standard components, such as menus, that you want on many pages. If desired, you can use LiveHTML to run the PL/SQL Agent under CGI, and thereby incorporate dynamic Oracle data in hardcoded Web pages.
