I use a cgi script to pull two separate html files together (content
and menu) to make a final page. I don't want the separate pages to be
accessed on their own. Is there any way I can ensure that if the
single page is accessed, it automatically seeks the cgi and assembles
it with its partner page as it is meant to be viewed?
Similar to ensuring a page in a frame is always viewed in the frameset
I presume, but in this case using cgi instead of frames.

Thanks!

Hi horseradish,

You can include javascript in your html documents which would inspect
the current URL, checking for "cgi" or some other string.  If you have
a full URL to the cgi it could search for that to be more specific. If
the string is not present, you can then forward them to the
appropriate cgi page.

For example:
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
checkurl = document.location.href;
if (!(checkurl.indexOf("cgi")>0))
	document.location.href="http://....../cgi......";
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
body of your page...
</body>
</html>

Would this suit your purposes?  If so, I can post this as an answer or
code something more specific to your purposes and submit that.

Cheers,
Prophet
