Simple tick off list

P

Paul

I would like to implement a simple list of items that people viewing my site
can 'tick off' so that the next person to view the page can see that this is
ticked off. I was thinking of a column for the description and a second
column to say if the item is all alocated (ticked) or not. I understand
that this will need some sort of dynamic page to display the list of items
and if they are ticked off or not. I am reasonable at Frontpage so hope
this won't be too hard!

Any help appreciated.

You will need server based script and writing to file, text or DB.

Not sure exactly what you mean here. Can you explain further and give some
sample code?

Script is program code like a program that is run by the client (i.e.
the browser) or the server (i.e. the web server or a component on the
computer servers that interacts with the web server) that does things.
It is usually used to create custom contest. Web pages with script are
referred to to as "dynamic pages versus static (pure HTML) pages.

Sorry, I cannot give you code--too many factors. Find out what script
language your host or web server supports, if any and find tutorials on
the NET to learn the basics of the language.

Here is the concept for what you said you want to achieve.

On your page with the tick-offs (check offs), the check-off boxes are
(HTML) check boxes contained within a form. Visitors can check-off the
ones they want and click on a submit button named "Save" or whatever
name is meaningful. When the user clicks the button, the check box
condition (on or off) is recorded in database or text file.

Next time the page is served to a new user, the page retrieves the
status of the check boxes from the db or text file and displays on/off.
