Hi,

I really would like to create a web page containing text and images that I can edit from within the browser environment i.e. once the page has been uploaded I can request it and then edit the text or change the image or add a new image etc.

Can any tell me if this is possible and if it is, how can I achieve it?

Thank you.

This was the main concept behind server-side database programming -- the ability to edit Web Page content without trauling through source-code.

You will need to read up on the fundemental processes of ASP database programming, which is available at several Web Sites, including:

1) www.asp101.com
2) www.w3schools.com
3) www.4guysfromrolla.com

Conceptually, data is stored within a database located on the Web Server, which is invoked by Web Pages written is ASP code. These pages are executed from the server and when finished produce plain HTML markup, which is sent to the clients machine, easily readable by his/her Web Browser.

Regards,
Andrew Buntine.

Thanks Buntine. Do you know of any resources I could get my hands on to help me with this? I lack ASP experience.
