I need some help writing ASP pages for Dreamweaver

[Guest_imported]

Hello to everyone,

If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea what ASP does lol I went to the Microsoft page and heard lots of things about "objects" and "variables" and I have no programming background except for WYSIWYG HTML and JavaScript, I am really more front-end design than anything else. This is what I need.

I need to have a form that my visitors fill out, in which they will fill out and they need to be able to upload pictures, after they click submit the form will take them to a confirmation form, and the information will immediately be emailed to my email address. The confirmation form will be highly specific to their information IE it can say

"Hello Bob, and thank you for purchasing a nordic track"

The "Bob" and the "Nordic track" being variables taken from the previous form. On the confirmation page there will be a button that is through the Paypal system that will allow them to pay. I would like the confirmation form to understand when the paypal button is clicked, it will open the paypal payment page in a new browser and the confirmation page will than become a receipt page. I can probably whip up a JavaScript that can handle this but if it can be done through ASP or maybe even CGI that would be cool. The receipt page will basically be the same as the confirmation page just without the Paypal button and will have a few descriptive words explaining that it should be printed as a receipt, for future reference.

I can do this all through HTML using Front page, but as Front page has to use their server extensions and their HTML editor that simply just does not like true, I have switched to Dreamweaver and couldn’t be happier. I would appreciate any free help out there that can help one designer to another.

I also need other programming stuff like SQL, Java, CGI, and Graphics, etc…

Thanks again,

James

ASP is typically written in Microsoft Visual InterDev 6, for static content, FrontPage is usally used. But if I were you I'd probally start taking trips to Barnes and Nobles, and sitting down and reading some of the books they have tere, to get a feel of where you want to go, and what you actually need.

I'm a VB programmer, intermediate level (or so I imagine myself to be), and I use Dreamweaver too. But I think a better language for nonprogrammers to do simple things quickly is ColdFusion. If your sever supports CF, try reading the CF tutorials on

http://www.webmonkey.com,

and if you like what you see, join the CF forum here at tek-tips. Lots o' people over there to help you too...hope nobody tosses me out of this forum now... [sig][/sig]
