HTML and Databases..........

[sterankin]

Hi there, I have data in an access database that I want to put on a web page.

Ideally, I would like to upload the database to the web, and my webpage would display the data (in a table or something)

Is this possible (of course it is), but can anyone give me directions as where to start.

I know HTML, but I'm sure it is more complicated that this.

If anyone could point me to a tutorial, I would be most grateful.

Thx

ASP is one option Tuts

You'll pardon me if I sound like a prude here:

HTML is a client side, markup language. Nothing more.

This means that HTML is used only to manipulate the display of what you want.

To work with a database, you will need to learn a server side language. A server side language executes code at the server and gives HTML output.

The most common server side languages are ASP, CGI Perl, PHP and Cold Fusion. (IMEO, ASP is the best)

There's already an ASP link in the previous post. You'll also have to find out whether your server supports it or not.
