Hey all,

I'm wondering if this something I can reasonably achieve in Frontpage 2002, or
if it's more something that has to be specifically written in some programming
language or Cold Fusion or Visual Studio or something.

I have a client (potential) who wants to have his site, a real estate site,
contain an "Admin" link at the bottom that he can log into and change content.
Specifically it would be a grid of units/condos in a large highrise. So he
wants the grid to look like, you know, unit 101 - unit 102 - unit 103 - unit
201 - blah blah blah in a table of cells, and it would have about 50 or so for
that building.

Well he wants to be able to go in and change the status of any giveen condo in
that table/cells to Sold or Pending or Availabe or whatever. He had a site that
did all this, and was as simple as him going in there and choosing a condo
number and there was a little pull-down field that had his choices in it. The
company that built and hosted that site went belly-up, and of course I have no
way of know if they did it with VStudio or ColdFusion or whatever.

I gathering this is all based on databases, but is it something that Frontpage
is happy doing, or it better left to more advanced programming. Do I need IIS
installed on my machine for this?

FWIW, I'm using FP2002, Windows XP Home.

Thanks so much.

Tim
 
First do you or th client have a copy of the original web site?

To determine what server-side scripting was used, what are page extensions?

ASP
CFM
PHP
PL
