connect html forms to database

[degreenet]

hi i am new to html,

is it possible to replace asp pages in a website with html forms and html forms connected to database...?

Hi and welcome to Webmaster World!

Are you asking if you can, for example, rename test.asp to test.html and have it work exactly the same?

Yes and no. You can, but you'll need to configure your web server to use the ASP engine to parse .html files. Before the explanation, I just want to make sure I'm not going down the wrong explanation trail...

yes, the HTML pages should work exactly the same as asp pages...!

Then you'll need to configure your web server to parse .html pages like .asp pages.

So posting in the Microsoft IIS Web Server and ASP.NET [webmasterworld.com] will most likely get better answers.

Another issue is exactly WHY do you need to do this? (I can think of some reasons, but just wanted to find out why you need to (or think you need to) so it.

Often, the best solution to a problem is realizing you don't have a problem in the first place. :)

the asp pages are old..! the new html pages are better looking so I just replace them with the same functionality as the asp pages....without affecting the database as the site is live
