html_code_clinic thread: Re: Noticeboard

Hi Catherine, 

Here's a question for you to ponder. If people enter their details, ie 
name, email, subject, etc... when you next load the page, how does your 
browser know where the data is? That's why you'd require a database and 
the supporting script language, PHP/ASP.

Remember, a notice board is dynamic; meaning that whenever you change the 
stuff on the page, the information has to be stored somewhere, and the 
webpage needs some way of knowing where to get the last 5 posts, per 
example. The code below is in proper HTML. But to access the stuff in the 
forms, that's where the name of your fields come into play. 

You can either use PHP or ASP to manipulate the information from your 
forms to display whatever way you choose. 

HTH, 
Sandra ^_^
