Browser editable page conent?

[Airric]

I would to create a page where I can type page content into a form (or whatever) and have it diplayed on the index page.

Basically I want my index page's text to be changeable via another page?

Does anybody have any ideas of how to do this?

Thank you,
Airric

You were told in another thread you could do this with Javascript, and personally I'd like to see someone answer that.

The only way I know of would be to write your admin data to a database or text file and dynamically output the index page, or in your admin programming overwrite the index page.

Example 1: Form-> perl or php script-> write admin info to database or file.

index page loads -> open page template -> open admin data -> insert into template -> output to browser.

Example 2: Form-> perl or php script -> open template -> insert form data into template -> overwrite index page.

All of this would have to be done server-side with programming and there are file permission issues to address, which is what makes a Javascript solution . . . interesting to say the least. :D

rocknbill write u can't make content of the following page if what would be a html. But u can make following:
U can make a content and show a new div(not a new window). In this div u can show any information what u want.
But if u want to open a new window, the decision is php,perl or aspx.
I hope i help u. Good luck

Thanx guys (or gals),

I will try it in PHP the only issue with that is the mysql DB spits out some special characters.

Thank you,

But isn't that from the same page? He's talking (I think?) about an admin area editing a second page. and from that page you can always open a new window . . maybe I mis-read your explanation.

DIV would be fine. DO you know how I would do it?

Thanx Airric

Airric but u should understand what all information what u typed in this field will be only on the client side not in the server. Of cause u can store it in the coockie and show it in the next visit. But it would be shown only to the user who typed it. Is it ok?
