ok im looking for some kind of help on java script..if thats even what i want. i have a site im building for a friend and he currently has a site on msn communities. i need some help on finding materials or tutorials or samples on how to do thing like..letting a visitor on my web page create a photo album and post his/her own pictures from a form on my page. and having a welcome message that anyone can change. the guy im building it for needs to be able to add photos and change his daily message without knowing html or editing it. ive looked everywhere and i cant find anything offering help or a tutorial on somehting like this. if i can find out where to learn it wont be hard as i am used to programming in visual basic and delphi but never used any java script or cgi etc.

What you're looking for is a cgi script. Javascript is primarily used for client side programming. There are several places that offer CGI script tutorials, but I haven't found one that kept me interested for more than 5 seconds.

well, Iagree that a server side language would benefit you (and JavaScript can be used to generate ASP pages).

I did say primarily, not totally. For some reason, ASP programming seems to just scare me. Hmph, don't know why.

well, its a step towards Object Orietntation.... and that can be a hard concept.
