The best language for computershop website

[diana253]

Hi all,

I'm currently working on developing a computer shop website. Basically its a non database/ static webpage so i'm using only simple html and javascript.

But i'm in dilemma right now on which language to use for a dynamic content page.I want to have a page namely Catalog.html (example). In this page i might have a side link where it list out all the computer peripherals in category. When i click on each categoty links..it will load the appropriate pictures together with its description(for each member in that category).So, i want to only use one single page for this not linking the category to other page that might cause me to have many pages.html .

So, i'm asking for you all's opinion on this on what is the best language to use for this kind of web. I'm thinking on using javascript or maybe dhtml but i think its a painful job with so much category and so much more members in each category of the computer peripherals.And i was thinking on uisng php but that might be a waste coz i'm not using any database.


Please help me decide on this matter.~~~:confused:

if your doing it with so much member and category i suggest you use database..

hurmmm..using database??
ohh..i hate database...
ok may be not that much member...i just want to display the images via link...
and i want to use only one page for more that one content..i tried to think on using getElementByID in javascript...i just want to be sure if this is the best way...for now lets forget about database...

Ok so you want this page to be dynamic, so are you going to be adding content etc.? If so it might be a better idea to use php as not all people can view javascript and may block it if they think its malicious. But I'm not very sure on what you are trying to make dynamic :confused:

haha..i'm not sure if the non-database webpage that uses single page with contents changed when user click a link is considered dynamic or not...but thinking it over i think you are right...i better use php as later on it'll be easier if i need to use dbase.Thanks guys...
