Re: Using DW for ASP

Yes and it's great. You'll also find the 'extensions' that you can download
(see exchange link on the Macromedia site here) are a real plus! For an
example you can view an ASP/MS Access site that I just put up at
http://www.GregsUsedCarsAndService.com

The random image on the first page is just java script but:

Go to the Quick List link to see a couple of the extensions at work.
You can sort the table by headers up/down order.
Ever other row can be a different color.
These are plug & play type extensions. Quite easy to insert and customize.

Go to the links page to see the 'Nested Repeat Region'. The links are pulled
from a database. Each category is only repeated once and then the links in
that category are listed. Really cool.

I have other sites that use the Pure ASP upload with the Smart Image
Processor. The site owner just fills in a form, click on an image to upload,
and the above uploads the image and resizes it to fit the area that you
reserved for it on the page. These are used with DWMX insert record behavior.

As you can see, using DW for it's built in database functions/behaviors is
only part of the fun. The extensions are really addictive and produce spiffy
looking pages. Just visit the extensions page and read about some of the things
they allow you to do. Have fun! Leesa
