Abstract Schmidt discusses ways in which programs on the server can be used to help control Internet experiments. The server is the computer that delivers (or "serves") Web pages to be viewed on the client’s (the visitor’s) browser. Although some functions such as error checking or question randomization can be carried out using JavaScript, using server programs provides a universal solution guaranteed to work even if JavaScript is not installed on the browser. Other functions such as tracking participants, summarizing group data, password/security control, or the saving of data require server programming. Schmidt has written software that eliminates the need to program when administering Web surveys and tests; it creates both the Web page and the server-side script. This software can be accessed from URL [http://survey.psy.buffalo.edu].
