Comment: I'm using Dreamweaver UltraDev to create a website for a charity but just starting to build my skills. I've set up an input form for people to register for a conference, set up the database and DNS but am really struggling to make it work as the book I've got isn't great and the drop down lists for example just don't match up with what I see on screen. Before I ask a specific question, I'd like to try and sort it out myself. Can anybody recommend a site which gives me specific info on this for UltraDev? Thanks.

Reply: (edit)UltraDev, or Dreamweaver as it is now known, is just a web page authoring application, it doesn't really deal with the server-side scripting you need. Where does the form point to (i.e. its action attribute)? It should point to a script that inserts the conference into a database.

Reply: (edit)Thanks for the offer of help James, I've been away for a while, hence the delay in getting back. The way I've set it up according to how I understand the book is that the HTM form Posts to an asp page with "mirror" fields and I assume that it is from there that the data is drawn down to my database which, like all of the site at the moment is currently sitting on my local drive. Does that make sense?
