655784 2008-04-03 18:36:00 What software is he using to build the website?
If it is Dreamweaver it is not too hard to put links to database fields.
Those #getItems.itemName# things are just links to tables/fields

You have to have an asp extension and your database setup correctly.

Info on building ASP web pages on both Adobe and Microsoft site plus many others.

655787 2008-04-05 12:37:00 Hi Omega. I presume PHP is supported for your website? Renmoo (66)
655788 2008-04-06 00:56:00 it can be PHP but at the mo it is in HTML. thanks, acronum (13577)
655789 2008-04-06 04:17:00 To do what you are wanting to do you need to use some kind of server-side scripting language - PHP is a good choice. You will also need a webserver to develop on. Note that you cannot do what you want to do with plain HTML; HTML is simply a text-formatting language. Erayd (23)
655790 2008-04-06 05:48:00 I know, just i had to get a basic site up and running before i could do anything else. My friend has one in PHP and i have the coding for that. But if you want, you could visit his site
resistorhelper.no-ip.org
make a user and have a look. He is being very generous in giving the code to me, but i still don't see how it works.....:confused:
