hi, i am new in the arena of Web-designing & Web-management. I know HTML, Frontpage & CSS. I have a few Questions, please help me out. I'm sorry if some of them are stupid questions. 1). What language should i learn to create/put a "Tell a friend" box in my webpage ? 2). How do I ? Save a users email-id when he subscribes for a e-magazine ? 3). Redirect user to a different site ? Is all this difficult to do ? Hoping some people to help me out. Thanks in advance
1). What language should i learn to create/put a "Tell a friend" box in my webpage ? This is best done with a server-side language. JavaScript is client-side (browser) only. Look at your hosting account info to determine what server languages are available to you. It's usually either PHP or ASP.NET (Microsoft/Windows) 2). How do I ? Save a users email-id when he subscribes for a e-magazine ? Again, this must be done server-side, in conjunction with a database. PHP/MySQL and ASP.NET/SQL are common 3). Redirect user to a different site ? This can be done with an HTML meta tag that redirects after a preset number of seconds, or with an HTML achor tag (an ordinary text link), or with JavaScript, upon an event, such as clicking a button
Electron, My web host has Email capture box, also my autoresponder, so you may already have this tool available. Same for redirect which is actual html that you can specify email address and redirect. Both should have that available to you as well. Much Success, George Pierce
