Logging on to another website from a link?

[ekimr]

Hi,

Thanks to all who have helped so far in my attempts to get a site running with a database when the site itself doesn't host them...

So now we have put the site up (without the database bits) , and the person whom we use is learning (like us!) as we go along...

We would like to stick with our current hosted website and domain name for our main web site and now link via a key press on an option to go to another web site where we have our database.

I think this must be standard for anywebsite, but does the coding behind the 'button' change if we are wanting to log on to a database?

So we want to move our ASP and database search to a hosted website (examples kindly suggested by people on this forum).

Does the ASP page become the 'home' page on our new database host or is it tricker than that?

Many thanks to all who have helped and continue to.

hmm! Yes the database page will be the default.asp or index.asp. which ever you prefer as far as naming conventions go. no tricks there. As far as linking to it. do you want a actualy onkeypress function like if they hit F5 they go to the site?
a basic link would be
<a href=&quot;

http://www.my

database support domain.com&quot;>log into databse</a>

the coding for the button would not be different then any other link in the initial site. just link to the page that contains the first functions you want to be performed in the other site. (login etc..)

Was it something I said?
