Assuming you really know HTML (can hand-code it) and you know what CGI is (please read the CGI specification otherwise although rather dated) as you previously mentioned, then you should learn Javascript and DOM, and probably Perl too if you are not too familiar with it.

It's difficult to give you any specific pointers as I do not know how much you know about all of these things. However, as you do not understand how the script works, then I really doubt whether you have production knowledge in HTML and CGI, as this is a really simple example.

You can do a directory or Google search on these keywords and you ought to find a lot of resources. You may probably wish to buy some books on these subjects but I have no recommendations at this point.

I would suggest you to ensure you have working knowledge of the client tier first, i.e. HTML and Javascript/DOM. Then you can proceed further to understand how to generate them on the server side, and investigate how CGI allows you to capture form parameters on the server-side, and send back the response.

XmDropSiteRegister(3X)													    XmDropSiteRegister(3X)

NAME

       XmDropSiteRegister - A Drag and Drop function that identifies a drop site and assigns resources that specify its behavior

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/DragDrop.h>

       void XmDropSiteRegister (widget, arglist, argcount)
	       Widget widget;
	       ArgList arglist;
	       Cardinal argcount;

DESCRIPTION

       XmDropSiteRegister  identifies the specified widget or gadget as a drop site and sets resource values that define the drop site's behavior.
       The routine assigns default values to any resources that are not specified in the argument list. The toolkit generates a warning message if
       a drop site is registered with XmNdropSiteActivity set to XmDROP_SITE_ACTIVE and the XmNdropProc resource is NULL.

       If the drop site is a descendant of a widget that is registered as a drop site, the XmNdropSiteType resource of the ancestor drop site must
       be specified as XmDROP_SITE_COMPOSITE.  The ancestor must be registered before the descendant.  The drop site is stacked  above	all  other
       sibling	drop sites already registered.	Specifies the ID of the widget to be registered.  Specifies the argument list.	Specifies the num-
       ber of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist).

       For a complete definition of DropSite and its associated resources, see XmDropSite(3X).
