webbrowser

[Antonio Ceballos]

Dennis, Cameron,

You are absolutely right. I was not aware that the cgi was trying to open 
the new browser on the server -I am a beginner with cgi, python and 
javascript.

This simple javascript does the job perfectly:

window.open("http://www.google.com");

Thanks a lot,
Antonio
