html_code_clinic thread: Re: AOL mailto link


Message #1 by "Fredrick J. Krantz" <krunch97@m...> on Thu, 31 May 2001 17:38:22 -0400
I want to be able to write the code eventually, but it will either be on a
IIS or apache.  Currently I am using apache test server on windows98.  I am
trying to learn the necessary ingredients to build a web site.  The site
will include some forms, transaction processing and membership.

Any advice to include is welcome.

Cordially,

Fredrick J. Krantz
