coding question

Zip~a~dee~doo~dah · 10-30-2005, 06:18 PM

I'm building a website for school, and I want to have a comments box on it like on some of the attraction pages here. What's the code, and how do you use it? Thanks for any help!

This whole forum uses vbulletin, an open source bulletin board software package. It all goes together and ripping codes for comments wouldn't help you much.

if you're just using simple html websites you're not gonna be able to have an interactive comments thing. You'd need to be using something that supports either a database or supports cgi or some sort of dynamic web technology. Know what you're doing it in would help tell you how to do what you want to do.

um, I'm using Dreamweaver. The comment things I refer to are just those ( they look simple) comment boxes on like the Pirates section. It's not really that big a deal.

On the attraction pages are just simple forms using Frontpage extensions. You'd have to be using Frontpage (Although Dreamweaver may support something similiar) and have frontpage extensions installed on your webserver to use them.

There are several free javascript apps out there that will basically do the same thing. (Usually called a "Shout Box").
