Has anyone done a CGI that runs a slide show? basically you have a folder of images, user clicks "Next" or "Previous" and the CGI drives a new image and text into the same screen.
If this could be an embedded object, great, otherwise, a complete web screen built from a template or something... the only caveat is of course, Rev has no session variables... so how do we store the users' current place in the slide show? If user ONE is flipping through the slide show and is on slide 5 and user TWO is flipping through the slide show and is on slide 8, where does that information live? I suppose one could generate a hidden input variable on the fly, embed this in the page as a input if we want to use POST or as a GET parameter in the cgi "next" button which is passed to the CGI in $QUERY or possibly we save cookie info? I recall some mentioned a few years back about someone successfully embedding stuff in a web page with CGI; I can also use iFrame which is considered non-standard, and deprecated (I don't know why... it works fine...I use it now.) Or push the show to a new top window which contains the entire presentation and no other elements. I see lots of ways of doing this pretty easily, but before digging into it I just wanted to check before re-inventing the wheel.
