Not really an HTML question, is it?

But it can be done.
You can run, for instance, the Apache server on your local
computer and let it serve CGI programs through links
and forms on a page running in a browser on that
same machine.

I've done this to test programs before uploading them
to a public server. You might want also to google
L.A.M.P. (Linux, Apache, SQL, and PHP) servers for your
local machine.

Can you tell us why you would want to do such a thing,
if it is other than for testing programs before moving them to
a public server?
