Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and new to Dynamic HTML Editor. I'm looking for software that will help make my life easier, and hope that the Dynamic HTML Editor will do just that.
My question may be very involved, so I will try to explain it as best as possible. If anyone has a hard time understanding it, please let me know so that I can rework my question.
Here is what I want to do with a website that I am creating.
From a master page, I want to click on a product link and have it take me to an order form that I have created. Within the order form page, I want to assign values to fields so they are visible when the form opens, i.e. see a larger view of the product that they clicked on and also a value that I would have assigned to a particular field.
If I am unable to do this, the only other option that I know of is to have a page for each product, and considering there are numerous products, that boils down to too much work.
First of all, is this possible to do, and if so, could someone please explain any details that will help me figure this out.
One feature in the software that I have been playing with is the pageholder, but I'm not sure if this feature is what I am looking for or if it will actually acomplish what I need to do.
Thank you for any comments or help with this.
Janis Searcey

Hello Janis,
your problem can be solved using Server Side Scripts like ASP, PHP, JSP, CFM and so on.
You can add these pages to your D.H.E. projects but you have to manage them "by hands" because D.H.E. is able to create only the client side part of the page.
In my site I used a similar solution for my Purchase Page (actually it is disabled)
You can create the first page by creating links like these:
Product 1 --> create a link like orderpage.asp?productid=001
Product 2 --> create a link like orderpage.asp?productid=002
etc...
The olderpage.asp can read values in ASP using Request.QueryString("productid") and generate the correct type of page
I suggest you to goole "asp pages" or "php pages" |

Do you possibly have an example of a site similar to what your asking for? It's sounds doable, but an example would help further visualization. |
