Hello
I need some assistance in coding a form login so that an administrator can login and change the content of the page...be it graphic or text based. The idea is that once the admin logs in (s)he has access to the page like a colorful canvas...the page doesn't change until the admin clicks on the element or tag to be changed...updates it, and hits refresh. Can it be done with ASP? It's more a concept then anything, and would ease in donstant db usage. The best analogy I can use here is an online Dreamweaver for administrators.
 
This would have to be a combination of server-side and client-side scripting. You would be able to do the actual Server-Side portion in ASP (getting the document, preparing the client-side code for editing), but if you want the person to actually manipulate the objects in the browser you will need client-side programming (javascript for instance) to handle moving objects, changing colors, even handling onCLick events. Then the new changes would have to be submitted back to the server so that it couild write the file back over the old one (ASP again).
