Default Dynamic content recommendation - 06-28-2005 , 08:42 PM






What do you use so that a user can update only a part of a web page?
Or upload a pdf (same file name).
Have a rotating banner.

Is there an all-in-one package or something?

thanks,

Dan

You'll need to explain what you mean a bit better than that.

A relatively recent buzzword is Ajax (a new term for an older set of
techniques), which allows a supporting browser to send a query back to
the server and uses Javascript DOM manipulation to update the page on
the fly.

My first, incredibly trivial use of this is at:

http://billericaybaptist.net/sermons

Note the submit button text change as you alter the search filters. A JS
function is passing the form settings back to the server, which queries
the database and returns the number of results.

Dunstan Orchard uses the same technique at his blog:

http://www.1976design.com/blog/

in his search box.

It does depend on JS and XMLHTTPRequest support, though, so it should be
used as an enhancement only.

Yes, there most certainly are. They are known as "content management
systems (CMS)".

Right, now what is the recommendation?
I need a simple system, as above.
Is there a free or easy proven method, or something to use in conjuction
with dreamweaver 2004mx?

I wouldn't want to spend a lot of money on a fairly simple site.

-thanks. Dan V.

Well, not sure if it works with Dreamweaver but I don't see why it
wouldn't - but http://www.nukecops.com/ might be a good idea. Php Nuke is a
pretty robust, simple system and it is free.
