Making a forum like this one...

[neenach2002]

Does anyone know how to make a forum like this one using HTML or JS??? Help would be greatly appreciated.

how about purchasing one already in the market...like
vbulletin....

[neenach2002]

ok. next question. is there any way to have someone put in some sort of post and have the information show up??? I know i can have someone e-mail me and i can just copy and paste what they want into the HTML code itself. It won't be as fancy as this website but it would still work. Is there a way to make it just do so automatically, like that Parent browser update thingy???:D

P.S. how would i purchase vb???

well if you want to just have somethign simple

tagboard (http://www.tag-board.com/)

has what you are looking for, but if you want to make somethign yoru self, then go to www.php.net buy a 20$ book, and get ready for some FUN! :D

[neenach2002]

any other suggestions???

i thikn you aren't understanding what server side and client side is.

JS is client side, so say you write to a window, it will only be the user who did the writing that will see it, and only for the time that he has taht window open.

server side will write to a file on the server and that way everyone can see it. JS cannot do this. Did you check that tagboard link out?....probalby not

[neenach2002]

actually, i did check the link out!!! in fact, i already have a tag-board on my site...

I think it is impossible, because you can't write in files or databases. Use MySQL &PHP or cgi or asp.

where would i get the files you have listed and how much does each one cost???:D
