PHP and CGI are run server-side.

Forms are written in HTML.

Javascript runs on the browser but it is Turned Off (tm).

You have asked a pretty broad question. :-)

PHP is a popular choice for scripting on both Windows and non-Windows
servers. For what it's worth, PHP and CGI are not mutually exclusive.

There are countless books on this subject.
For instance, "PHP for the World Wide Web: Visual Quickstart Guide"
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg.../-/0321245652/

Anyway, my method of learning about new programming techniques is to go
to www.google.com and type in the same words I was asking about, and
also the word "tutorial". Read a few tutorials and see if the concepts
start to make sense.

http://www.google.com/search?q=php+cgi+tutorial

A newsgroup is not the best place to get introduced to broad topics;
newsgroups are better for getting answers to specific questions, after
you've learned the basics.

Like, I know if several checkboxes have the same name, I can get the ones that were checked after submit with a request.form("name") and maybe do a split(request.form("name"),",") to cycle through them. I tried the same thing with textfields (input type=text), but doesn't seem to work the same. Do they behave differently?

What is the difference between the Page_Init and Page_Load events? When I was debugging my code, they both seemed to get triggered on every postback. I am assuming that there is some difference, and I would like to know what it is so that I can take advantage of it in my code.

I am having a really hard time trying to get some client side code hooked up in VS2005, ASP 2.0. The code is in an .inc file (vbscript).

Second, the page throws fits about the server side code tags (<% ... %>),...are these supported anymore? Third, when I set the onclick event of a client side HTML button it does not recognize...

My windows form "Form1" has one Button "button1" and one TextBox "textBox1". When I click button1, it do a job for each file in a directory. The job include some platform invoke call. Before processing a file, I set textBox1's Text property as filename of the file processed, and call this->refresh() to refresh the form. Every thing seems OK. But, if the process time for some file is a little long (say 10 seconds) and during processing...
