Best technology for new Web site

Need to be able to view in all browsers including PDA

[CaptnGordo]

Hi all,

Can anyone provie advice on which is the best current technology for developing a Web site, I've been using Cold Fusion, developing with Dreamweaver MX, but wondering if PHP or other technologies might be better. The site needs database access, secure e-commerce transactions and be able to be viewed with all browsers, PC, MAC and PDA's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gord

If you are comfortable with CF use it. It won't affect how the page is rendered. The database, logic and presentation are all different layers that are independant of each other, with few exceptions. If you want it to look good on different browsers, that is a presentation issue, not logic or database.

You can build the same site using Access, PHP, and tables as you can using MySQL, CF, and CSS. Or mix and match!

Browser issues only arise when you involve JavaScript and CSS into your web pages. (or use old, deprecated HTML tags).

The server technology has no bearning on the HTML that is created.
