i want to allow the web owner access to a form entry page... then i want
the text he enters to show up on another page..
how would i do this?


what i want to do is allow the web owner to be able to enter text somewhere
and have that show up on a different page ie read from the form. is this
possible?

If you are using a form, create your own form handler to use
the values as you so desire. An example would be (Windows
host) for form.htm to have an action of results.asp.
Form.htm has a text box called Name. Results.asp could have
"Good afternoon, " and the name
example code:
<%
dim strName
strName = Request.Form("Name")
%>
<html><body>
Good afternoon <% =strName %>
</body></html>

If this does not happen very frequently, you might want
to use the KISS principle and have the web owner email
you the text, input it and re-publish the site.

Only you can decide if it is worth your time to learn
coding to make it happen without your involvement.

Another option would be for the web owner to purchase and
learn Front Page.

sure it'll work. it doesn't require any specific editor or anything, it's
just that the instructions are from a FrontPage perspective. ;-)
