It's just not making sense to me at all.
A good start to get the basics of how it works is to read Jon Widerspan's
tutorial, i mentioned in the first reply.
The CGI is the AppleScript, yes.
When a CGI i called from the browser you mostly want to have a response page
displayed. This page must be created by the CGI itself in any way. You can
have the HTML code you want to use for the respnse page directly in a
variable, or you can fill that variable with a HTML file on disk via the
'read file' command.
And then you need to combine the dynamic part, created by the CGI (your
counter value) with that static part(s) from your variable(s) which hold the
HTML code.
There are several ways to do that, search and replace for example.
