i have been making pagess for some time now and i think its time to take the next step up. useing forming which will be made in dreamweaver MX, how can i make a form post to a database (which will save user/passcode info) and make a login page reffer to that database for the user/passcode ?
next, still about forms >)
i would like to make a form save a html file maybe even make a new html file if the limit i set for post per page has been reached and how can i set the limit ?
any help here would be great! thanks
 
You can do fairly sophisticated dynamic data work using DWMX or Ultradev without having to delve into any code. After a while you will run up against limitations at which point you'll need to look at languages/methodologies:

CGI - dead

Perl - dead

.asp - big developer community, widely used, very good choice especially if you already know VB.

php - big developer community, widely used, free, tends to be used with other free products like MYSql - has some limitations when it comes to multiple webservers and scaleability.

jsp - powerful, harder to learn.

ColdFusion - powerful, easiest to learn, small developer community, expensive.

I am studying ColdFusion - I'm thinking asp.net might have been a better choice.

download phaktphp for Dreamweaver....It is a free extension that enables MX to do all the stuff that you can with ASP [soapbox]

MX copes with asp perfectly well on its own for me..
