You could load it in an image tag...

<img src="/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi" height="1" width="1">

It might show as a broken image in some browsers.  To fix that you could
have the script send a 1 pixel image to the browser.

print "Content-type: image/gif\n\n";
open IN, 'image.gif';
binmode IN;
print while <IN>;
close IN;

I use something like that for tracking views.

Subject: Executing script "invisibly"


Hello,
I am using Javascript (body onload) to execute a script automatically as a
page loads, but this ends up redirecting the page to the URL of the script.

Is there a way to have a script execute but prevent the user from being
directed away from the home page?

Much thanks.
