"Searchable Databases????"

or summat like that??

I would like to know how to make a website searchable so I could put a search box on it....or even better, a members page or something like that.

But the Search thing is more important. Because I would like to know so I can put it on...in say a month. As I will soon have lots more things on my website.

So is it something to do with sorting them into folders or on Excel???

Can someone please help me out??

Urgh..

Can you imagine having a list of all the pages on a site with keywords in the source of /every page/? I assume this is what the javascript solution is referring to.. that wouldn't scale.

Just utilize google.

There is a Server Side JavaScript, not that I know anything about it, I just know it exists.

Dear TN you surprise me!!

Client Side: Action performed on End Users hardware
Server Side: Action performed on Server


Client-Side JavaScript
You probably already know client-side Javascript (CSJS), which means you also know core JavaScript. CSJS is the single most popular language on the Internet, used in more than 3.5 million web pages.

CSJS is composed of core JavaScript and many additional objects, such as the following:

document
form
frame
window
The objects in CSJS enable you to manipulate HTML documents (checking form fields, submitting forms, creating dynamic pages, and such) and the browser itself (directing the browser to load other HTML pages, display messages, and so on).


Server-Side JavaScript
Server-side JavaScript is composed of core JavaScript and additional objects and functions for accessing databases and file systems, sending e-mail, and so on. SSJS enables developers to quickly and easily create database-driven web applications by leveraging their existing knowledge of JavaScript. It's used to create and/or customize server-based applications by scripting the interaction between objects. The entire SSJS object model for the Netscape Enterprise Server is detailed in the View Source article "Server-Side JavaScript Object Roadmap and Compatibility Guide."

SSJS is included with the Netscape Enterprise Server and is ideal for creating web applications that can be run on any platform, on any browser, and in any language. Why create something in Visual Basic or PowerBuilder that can be run on only one platform, when you can create a web application with SSJS that can be run on any existing platform (such as UNIX, Mac, and Windows) and even future platforms (like BEOS)?

You get server side html too (shtml) plus SSI's (Server Side Includes)

The same with CSS... you can set it dependent on Server or Platform or End User...

I hope I have enlightened you TN!

HTML isn't technically a language!

So this statement is correct!:-)

So why call it HyperText Markup Language?

Purley because it was a derivitive of SGML (Standardised Mark Up Language) and the language bit stuck.

Authentication, etc. issues - more complex. PHP and MySQL probably.

Surely HTML is still a subset of the SGML language? In the way the cockney rhyming slang is a subset of the English language... it can still be considered a language in it's own right.
