Hi guys, im working for a small company doing websites for there clients. There asking me if i could make a site that you can sell items on. I dont know the first thing about coding a site that sells stuff online. I only really know how to do enough html to design a website. Can anyone let me know if its possible to do this just in HTML or do i need to know more then just HTML. If anyone has any good tutorial sites or something to help me understand this much more i would appreciate it.
 
You need a lot more than HTML. HTML is a markup language, not a scripting language and online store requires scripting. You would need one of the server-side languages available (PHP, ASP, .NET, Coldfusion, Perl, JSP). You can also find some premade solutions on the net that are available free, like OSCommerce.
 
Thanks Vragabond I had a feeling this wouldn't be just HTML. Ill have to check out the free premade solutions.

Thanks
Frank
