   Of course, you cannot use Postgres with browser. You need WWW server and
CGI programs, that draw data from a database, prepare HTML and pass it to
browser.
   First, you need to learn what is CGI in general. Choose a language for
writing CGI. These days perl used widely, but it is hard to learn. I
recommend to learn Python. I can give you some advices/demos on how to
write CGI scripts using Python and Postgres.
