Hello,
My first time, please help if possilbe. I'm working on a Static HTML page site buildout, but will need to have a form in each page. In an effort to keep the form pages updated constantly, and open for interation my client would like to use .asp.

Is it possible to hold each static HTML optimised page coding in place while working with a dynamic form within the HTML? We don't want to sacrafice ranking potential by moving away from static HTML for this project.

Any idea's/help is greatly appreciated.

You could put the dynamic form in an IFRAME, and have the IFRAME source be an ASP page. However, any content in the IFRAME would probably not get indexed by a search engine, though it sounds like that's what you're looking for.

Thanks Jon,

That sounds exactly like what we'd like to do. Will iframes present any problem with spyders reading the remainder of the HTML file?

Vince, also, besides IFrame, using simple Javascript functions and event handlers can give you lots of flexibility for your forms.

Thanks Bruce. I would prefer to use java versus iframes. Is it possible to use an Event Handler to load a .asp file form page into a table area of a static HTML page?
