Hello,
How do I create a website where only certain content loads. I
have seen plenty of website that when you click in a certain text box it
shows text by it but when you click on a different text box the text
dissappears.
Thanks,

Hi Louis,

What you're describing is called, in generic terms, "interaction."
Interaction is where the user does something, and the user interface (the
browser) does something in response. Once you start talking about
interaction, you're in the realm of programming.

There are 2 distinct types of programming associated with web pages:
Client-side (in the browser) and Server-side (HTML content is
dynamically-generated on the server in response to different things).
Client-side programming is done with JavaScript, and you might Google
JavaScript to start learning it. Server-side programming is done using ASP
(on a Windows Server), PHP, or some other server-side programming
technology. There are web sites (like mine: http://www.takempis.com) that
can help you learn server-side programming as well.

Other than this general guidance, I can't provide you with any more
information, as your question was of a general nature. If you have a
specific requirement for your web, please describe it fully, and perhaps we
can help you come up with a specific solution.

I wanted to have a picture or drawing of a fish. There would be a
question like: Where is the pectoral fin, the vistors would click on a
certain part of the fish and something would come up telling them if they
clicked in the right or wrong place. I think I might learn Javascipt it looks
like it would be really useful to know.
Thanks

PS: how do you get one of those counters that shows you how many vistors you
have on right now. I noticed your website had one.

Hi Louis,

JavaScript might be just fine, as long as you realize that any user can get
the correct answer by studying your script source code. But it sounds like
it might not be a big security issue in this case.

As for the counter, FrontPage comes with its own. The one on my web site is
a bit of custom programming using ASP. I think there's a tutorial on how to
build it.
