How to Allow Visitors to Post Messages to Forum 3

[flasher40]

Hi,

I've developed a few websites using HTML, Flash, and Javascript code, but I'm not a programmer (good at copying & pasting, though).

I'm planning to create a website for folks who purchase a self-help book I will be self-publishing. I'd like readers of the book to be able to post messages to the website, but that's a feature I've never tried to include before. I did some Googling but didn't find any information. I'm not even sure if Javascript is the way to set up something like this.

My websites are part of the package that Comcast offers its subscribers at no extra cost, so I don't know whether Comcast sites are configured to allow message posting.

I'd appreciate some help just pointing me in the right direction to find out how to set up a website that people can post messages on.

Thanks!
Bill

Javascript is not the way to set this up. Javascript is all client side.

What you probably want is called a guestbook.

These use some server side language to collect user information, store it server side in some format, and display it on a page.

Google on guestbooks and see if that is what you are after.

If that doesn't give you what you need, try 'forums' or 'comments' - although the latter would normally be part of a blog.

Hi

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Other ? Well, you can just put JS-Kit Comments and consider it done...
