creating dynamic text (maybe not)

hello all, I am trying to have a page (post_jobs) that the owner of the company
can access (let us not worry about security for the moment) and fill out a form
that has two fields (jobname , jobdescription) and then from the data entered
in this form, the page (jobs) which can be accessed by any visitor be updated
with the new job available (if there is one) , and the description of that job.
Please help me in figuring out what I am supposed to learn to get this done.
Is it dynamic text? or is dynamic text only for the session of the visitor's
browser?? I would appriciate any links on where I might get started, or what I
should be using to do this. Thanks in advance. Layth

You will need to use a simple database to store the job deatils and then
create a record set page in Dreamweaver to retrive them from the
database.

To allow your cleint to enter/delete job descriptions into the database
you will have to create a Update/Delecte record page also.

First you need to find out what server language your website host
provides. It could be asp, php, cold fusion, .net etc.

Below is a link to a few video tutorials which run through the basic
principle of how to set up a mysql/php database combination/dynamic
table and update/delete record set behaviour.
