Source Code

[flasher]

Hello,

I have a client who simply wants 11 blank pages to the website. She would like her students to create and upload the content themselves...(using frontpage.)

How does this work? Do I have to send her the source code of the pages? Or can she just download the pages off the internet, edit them in Frontpage and reupload?

Also, I am using Dreamweaver. Will that conflict with the fact that the students will be using Frontpage? thanx.

If you have Ultradev, you could create a simple "blank" page and then introduce the insert record behaviour to dump content into the page using a fairly straightforward form-type of interface. This also protects the blank pages from any unwanted tinkering. I have adopted this in an application which allows Lecturers to create online tutorials for students.
The other issue is that you can let the students upload their content using a browser and avoid the concerns of mix-n-match code that UD and FP will dump.
If I can help any further, drop me a note (design@1stclass.uk.com) I could throw the pages together for you if 1) you will use them and 2) you have a ASP-capable server.
Are you actually using Ultradev as opposed to Dreamweaver. If you aren't then the above suggestions would have to hand-coded into Dreamweaver which would take a while!!

Drop me a note
