You can compile a C program as a CGI and run it on the webserver and interact with it through a browser. The following site gives a fairly basic tutorial on how to do this:

CGI applications have nothing to do with the CODE tag in HTML. This tag is basically used to denote a layout for displaying "code text" in a HTML page. See below for a description of this tag.
