how to design asp pages?

[taval]

I'm currently working on asp pages that has to call a customer details database. The asp pages provide fuctions to delete, update, create and query records. Would it be better to split each fuction onto a different asp page, or is it better to try and compact all the functions into fewer asp scripts? E.g should I have one that displays all customer detials, and one that allows you to change customer details.... should I use querystrings to bond these pages together??<br><br>I don't know how the professionals would go about designing the pages, so I need some advice?<br><br>Thankx

it depends on the task you are performing, als you can throw all your functions into a myfunctions.inc and include it into each asp, so that all the functions are being used from a single file if thats what your mean. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

Dear taval,<br><br>As Karl states, there is no 'cookbook' method, but depends on the task at hand. It can also depend on your user environment. If you can limit your target browser to IE 5 then there are all sorts of easy quick techniques that allow you to be creative in the design of the UI. However if you must support the &quot;other browser&quot;, you are severely limited, and using separate pages is probably the simplest way to maintain the code.<br><br>Having said that, if you are just starting out I recommend keeping your goals and designs simple. You will discover new techniques as time goes by and you can always implement them as revisions.<br><br>&quot;But, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong&quot;.<br>-pete<br>

Thank you all for your ideas , I've took them onboard.<br>I thinks it'd best to leave things simple in a module format so that if something goes wrong in one asp scripts you know where the problem lies.<br><br>Thanks again.
