DHTML Question

by Andreas Jung · in Technical Issues · 03/09/2002 (12:44 pm) · 1 replies

Hi,
I gonna remake my homepage. I'm programming "natively" C++, but now I gonna use VisualBasic6 to make a DHTML-Page.

I have 2 problems:
1) How can I open a file, that is on the server?
For example, I want to open and read an "indicee-file", that lies on the server.

2) When I have the indicees, I want modify the HTML-Code at runtime from VB-Code. The problem is, that I don't know how to get "click-callbacks" from code that is generated at runtime.

Help!!!

I'm not too sure. If you want to edit the index file, then you'll have to download it, edit it and then ftp it right back. Or you'll have to work on it remotely via telnet.

If you want to have vb generate files or serve webpages dynamically, you'll need support for it on the server. I think ASP can use VB/VBA for its programming language, but it isn't gonna be like any plain VB program. Nevertheless ASP isn't too difficult.

Any 'Click-calbacks' will have to be handled on the client machine with a supported scripting language (usually Javascript) or it will have to be in a form that will be processed on the server.

Hope that helps, But I think you'd be better off looking for tutorials. www.webmonkey.com would be a good start.
