here, ASP or Coldfusion.

application server just for my limited needs.

currently a remote URL that is served elsewhere. I want to integrate the
drug search feature right within the local website using the above
approaches so I can further customize the search feature and maintain
800/600 presentation, like the other pages.
Shining Light Productions' Nuclear Vision v1.1 is the freeware alternative
to Macromedia ColdFusion (a $2000-$5000 application). Currently
implemented as a CGI (works under any major web server), v1.2 will
introduce LRWP (Xitami and ProtoNova), ISAPI (IIS), and Remote Module
(NVMLMod - ProtoNova only) support along with full E-Commerce support (via
the NVIMAGE, NVSESSION, and NVEXEC tags - along with modifications to NVWEB
for SSL-support). NVML v1.1 can be obtained here:

That links to Shining Light Productions internal site, which runs on
Nuclear Vision v1.1. Be sure to read the developer documentation and check
out the included NVML examples in the distribution.
Shining Light Productions also maintains XiFusion, a popular product that
allows Xitami and ColdFusion (NOT ColdFusion MX) to work together (and
enables other languages like PHP to work better). Nuclear Vision works
under Xitami without requiring XiFusion.
Hope this helps!
