Forms in Dreamweaver

[Stephanie]

Hi,
I am trying to create an easily changeable address book in Dreamweaver, whereby people's names, phone numbers, email addresses etc. can be added, deleted or edited easily. Could you please give me your suggestions as to the best way to go about doing this? Thanks

What version of Dreamweaver are you using? If it is one of the later ones, then you can use it to make all your code.
Have a look in the help for master and detail pages.

You will however need a web host that supports one of; ASP, ASP.NET, PHP or Coldfusion

Yes Stephanie, I don't know if you realise this but this isn't a simple matter of creating an interface (buttons, forms, etc) you will need to code exactly what happens with this information yourself or find a script that can do this for you.
As devman said, there are quite a few languages that can accomplish this and those he mentioned are widely used and therefore they are fairly cheap to implement.
If you know some coding already then just go for it, but I get the feeling you don't, so please know that it's not as simple as it seems and there is a lot to learn to do what you are attempting.
On Hotscripts, you can find a number of scripts that can accomplish this task for you, many of them are free.
Most PHP scripts are located here:

with one useful looking script being:

ASP scripts are here:

There is less of a selection of ASP scripts.

If you don't already have a web host, I suggest you look through our links section.

Please bear in mind that, as a rule, ASP runs on Windows servers and PHP runs on Linux servers.
