Processing Forms

Yes You are right while javascript is only for client side processing , on the other hand asp or cgi are for server side script. If you want to retrive the values of the form , or you want to add these details in any kind of database you need any server side script. Right now ASP and PHP are hot topics in markets. ASP is very easy to learn. There are lots more functionality of a server side script.

If I just go through a hosting company. I build a asp script how do I get it to work on the server. Do I just build it with my website or do I have to ask my server provider to put something on their server for me. How do I make the database more secure. What are the process I need to take. Thank you

Let me explain you how ASP works. ASP is a sort of a filter. When the web server (IIS) receives a request for an .ASP page, it will parse it using this filter first, and then It will return the HTML, and YES, your hosting provider needs to support this. fortunately, ASP is very common these days, so almost every provider (Windows Server) supports it. If your provider supports it, just make your code, upload it to your site, and watch it work!

Good Luck!

Once I got the form to go to a database using asp. How do I make a form that will search the same database for (etc. dogs name) a field.
