FAQ- How to create and automate.

[boxplan]

I want to automate a FAQ page for one of my web sites. Initially it will undergo frequent revision and will need to be changed at the beginning of each semester. I would like sorting capability. A database would work but I would like to avoid manually creating the targets and the links.

There are many different methods to accomplish what you are looking to do. One way is the manual do it all by hand method. Another is to use Access database - have the questions populate a database table - and you can add answers as you come around to them. No matter what method it will of course require typing the answer. This would solve your sort problem - as well as having it only show questions that have an answer applied to them.

schase,

I have started an Access database with the questions and answers. At this pint I need to figure out how to create and insert the links and target (bookmark) tags.

ok, looks like you have a great start then.

The links are easy. for example, I have a database that shows cars. I have pictures of the cars in a directory /images/ on my table I have it typed in like
accord_2_ex_white.jpg on the asp code I have the following.

< img src=&quot;

http://www.yourdomain.com/images/Ca...lds.Item(&quot;Picture&quot;).Value)%>&quot;>

This automatically inserts the accord_2_ex_white.jpg into the img tag. and displays the picture. You can do the same with <a href or whichever code you'd like.

If I can help debug please let me know.

Sincerely,

Stuart
