I don't know what I want. Simply put. However, I believe it's ASP that I want, and so I decided to ask how to use ASP to do what I want.. Perhaps somebody can help me.
I need to make a form on my site so a person can "sign up." It would simply ask for their User Name, Alias, and Password.
Upon returning, and entering their User Name and Password, their main page will become their personal page, which includes an optional uploaded picture of themself, a heading of their Alias, and an automatically added statistic of "10 pts"
I need them to be able to update their own log on, so they can change their alias and password if they wish.
I need them to be able to give points to other members. For example, they start with 10 pts... And they can click in a text box and type in the user name of the person they wish to give a point to. Which would then make them have 9 pts, and the other person to have an extra point.
- I know how to write HTML, including tables and forms.
- I understand ASP very well, though I don't have much experience.
- I sort of understand ADO.
- Don't know much about SQL
- I understand VB, not much using experience though.
All I really NEED is a point in the right direction, so I possibly would know what to study. But I'll take any extra help I could get to get me started.
Basic Goal: Transfer my old static web site: Suamere.tripod.com, to my new soon to be dynamic interactive web site: HyruleRP.com
Thanks in advance. - Suamere

| Check out 4guysfromrolla and w3schools. They have some of the best tutorials for getting started. Sounds like you want to build a database driven website. As long as you've got a fairly small number of users (or just to get you started), you can use an Access database. I've recently started converting my site into a database driven one, and I've been using these two sites a lot. |

Yeah, Podge is right. My service allows everything as far as I can tell, I picked it mainly for it's diverstiy in options. So which type of language or code do I need to learn from W3 or the such?

| If you're looking to create a database-driven site, I'd suggest the ASP, ADO, and SQL tutorials. |
