RPG GUI Question

We had the very same request at my company, we wanted the sub-lists to
appear as soon as the mouse was moved over the list headings. We tried many
things and anything that involved processing on the server side was
rejected due to speed. Eventually we settled on hard-coding the list items
in a block of JavaScript. Database access was just too slow. Not nice but
it works.

Have a look at http://www.javascript.com for ideas.

Hi,
      I have been looking at CGI web sites, but am getting more confused.
I need to write an RPG application with a GUI front end. It will display a
list and when the user selects and entry, another list is displayed, then
another.  This is done to minimize keying and may end up on a touch screen.
      I was thinking of trying CGI, but haven't been able to determine if
it could do something like this.  We also have WebSphere installed, but I
don't think it is set up.  Any suggestions on how I can do this? Thanks!
