Displaying Data on a Web Page With FrontPage

With Chili!Soft ASP, FrontPage developers can continue using the FrontPage features for connecting to a database and displaying its information on an ASP page. Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 supports all of the methods for displaying database data that are generated by the FrontPage Database Results Wizard, including:

·              Table format

·              List format

·              Drop-down menu format

By using the Database Results Wizard, developers can easily present the most recent data each time a user views and refreshes a page. Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 also supports the FrontPage "Send To Database" HTML form handler feature, as well as the Recordset navigation toolbar generated by the Database Results Wizard for moving quickly through the pages of records returned by a query.

Important

When using the FrontPage 2000 Database Results Wizard, you must first create the ASP pages locally on your workstation, and then publish them on the server running the ASP Server and FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions. After moving the ASP pages, you can later use FrontPage 2000 to edit them on the server. Note that you must change the connection strings created by FrontPage in order for them to work with Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 for Linux or UNIX. For more information, see "Using FrontPage Database Connections" in this section.
