Hello Puneet. Slightly off topic but useful for making templating easy and not looking like a cgi.

Its easy if you have control over your server. make a soft link to your cgi directory and call it something related to your app /cgi-bin/information.cgi?do=parameters becomes /mortgage/information/parameters This doesn't work for all servers. I have a shared one that won't let me do that, so I had to have an extension. but you can do this differently by making up a new filename extension and making it act like a cgi In this case, Mortgage_Rate.html is a parameter, not a file, but it looks like a file. http://marketside.com/mortgage/mortgage.cgi/Mortgage_Rate.html On another server that I control, I can change mortgage.cgi to just mortgage. On this one I could have made the extension .info act like a cgi and then I could have used http://marketside.com/mortgage/mortgage.info/Mortgage_Rate.html - but by the time I realised that, it was in all the search engines. And this makes it easy to use Templates but not make it too obvious.
