I am trying python with CGI for web interface development. Clicking on a button on webpage should call function to get clock details from network device.
import sys, os
#importing library files
sh_clk = ""
class test_001(test_case):
def setUp(self):
#Establish a telnet session to the network device.
def tearDown(self):
# Close the telnet session
def test_001(self):
global sh_clk
sh_clk = device("show clock")
if __name__ == '__main__':
print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n"
print '<html>'
print '<head>'
print '<title>First CGI Program</title>'
print '</head>'
print '<body>'
#run_test
print '<h2>'+sh_clk+'</h2><br>'
print '</body>'
print '</html>'
With above code, following output got printed on webpage.

I want to create one button "show clock", clicking on it, should display time. Couldn't figure out how to achieve this, below is the raw code with missing function calls.
print '<form>'
print '<input type="button" value="Open Window" onclick="something missing">'
print '</form>'
print '<h2><div id="sh_clk"></div></h2>'
print '<button onclick="something missing">Show Clock</button>'
It will be of real help if some one can suggest how to fulfill the requirement.
