Expression Web (Part 1) FormTutorial

[MubasharKTH]

HI Kelly thanks for great tutorials

I have a question why don't you use php for making a form

[Expressionweb2]

@MubasharKTH Great question. And soon I will have php form tutorials. But realize who my target audience is.... Beginners. I feel it's important to provide simple methods for collecting very basic information via a form. A CGI script is more than appropriate in this situation. That said, we can take an HTML form a step further and process it with a php script. Or, we can use php or pear packages to make php forms, etc. We have many options. Make sense?

[MubasharKTH]

@Expressionweb2 Thanks for your reply. Yeah I know it is complicated but that is more realistic and I have been developing an application. I need to collaborate, hire and contract people with good skills in web development especially PHP + MySQL. If you like please send me a message in private

[Expressionweb2]

@MubasharKTH I would love to collaborate, but I just don't have time right now. Actually, the past few years, I just get busier and busier.... I have a waiting list of potential web design clients and am booked solid through most of the summer... already! But I will keep you in mind. I will send you an email and talk with you that way. Thanks for watching.

@MubasharKTH And when we talk about Form Validation, dear Lord, we have a ton of options!! Jquery, javascript, php, etc.

How can I edit modify , the others pages such that you could edit the HOME page as a Master

For information, I can not edit the others comfortability , only i can add content in idv .. but the btns cannot link them to each other in next pages ..

[Expressionweb2]

@noway191 Typically, I design my home page or one page (whatever it may be) and include the entire navigation menu(s). I then save this one web page as a dynamic web Template. Then I create most of my web pages from this template. Yet, when I want to modify my pages, I do so on the dyanmic web template(DWT) which will update the pages I created from the DWT. After i save a web page as a DWT, I have to add at least one editable region. This is where I will put unique content on each page.

@Expressionweb2 thanks a lot bro .. i will try my best .. that's becz i have assignment and this program is the workstation of it .. thanx anyway ,,

[Expressionweb2]

@noway191 Essentially, learn how to make and manage a dwynamic web template so as to control the overall theme and consistency of your web site.

thanks for your effort =D

[2day345]

really really great tutorial =D

im beginner in Expressionweb2 and this is help me a lot

i have Q .. is this the same way how we can do a registration form such like "a form for competition ? ??

thank u so much =D

[Expressionweb2]

You mean something for people to sign up for a competition? Yes, it is done in the same manner. However, if you intend on collecting sensitive and personal information, then I would suggest purchasing an SSL certificate, or use php to process the form. PHP is commonly used to process submitted data and is a more secure way of doing it.

Part 3 of this video shows you how to insert a cgi script and or use frontpage server extensions to process the form. I will email you a link to the script

[Expressionweb2]

One more thing, I will make another form tutorial to show you some of the other form controls. For instance, a registration form for some event.
