Wiki webs do this. The web page HTML is generated by a script from text
files or data records. I believe there is a REBOL version somewhere. The
same technique applies. Twiki is a version built in perl. There are a
surprising number of examples.
www.editthispage.com supports editable pages using a similar mechanism.
FWIW, getting a script that can be used the same as JavaScript (client side)
requires building a DLL according Microsoft's scripting engine rules. The
resulting scripts can be used in browser pages and the windows scripting
host.
Getting the effect of Active Server Pages (server side) requires either an
add-on to the server or the CGI trick already discussed.

Subject: [REBOL] REBOL Webserver Re:
I've been meaning to ask about this myself. I think there's a script on
REBOL.ORG that mentions "REBOL Server Pages".
Meanwhile, I've been working with mSQL on a project. They have a CGI
that you can call like this:
/cgi-bin/w3-msql/path-to-your-webpage.html
This leverages the protocol where a server tries each element in a path
to see if it is executable, and launches the first one it finds. I
haven't tried it, but I guess on Windows it would be
/cgi-bin/w3-msql.exe/path-to-your-webpage.html
Anyway, the w3-msql CGI just parses the Web page and spits it back at
the browser.
Been wondering if we could do the same with REBOL. The rebol-sp CGI
would load the Web page, do any scripts it found between <% %> markers,
and return the result.
If something like this worked, we'd have plug-and-play server pages --
no server-side configuration changes.

Hi,
Does anyone know of any webservers made in REBOL that have Embedded
REBOL
using the <rebol></rebol> tags like "RebWeb" But also includes ASP and
other
languages like that?
