    ASP vs PHP

    Have you considered Cold Fusion? It should be included in your consideration. The only reason why you would really need to exclude the application is if you/they were to host it internally - then its no doubt a cost issue. If the site is going start and most-likely stay in a hosted environment - then Cold Fusion is just as affordable as PHP and ASP - free to download and develop in and its tag based structure makes it easy to pick up.Just my $.02.
  2. I feel your pain. It has been my experience that the browser world is just not ready (IMHO) to commit fully to one or the other. I have learned the art of a fine balance between using CSS and tables together. One revelation I came to years ago was to never use the <p> tag and always use a <br> when ever you are done with a line of content.For instance:<table><tr><td>Content/Image Here<br></td></tr></table>Even though most browsers don't need it - a few will for different types of scenarios.There is no reason that tables and CSS can't co-exist without being standard compliant and being an acceptable practice.
  3. I am wondering, is there a way to write a SQL statement that will return the records on either side of a single record.For instance, if I have(select) record B in a table, can I write one expression that will return A,B,C - my input being 'B'? I know I could do this with three statements, one for B, one to get the TOP 1 record for anything less than B, and one to get the TOP 1 record for anything greater than B - is there a way to combine this logic - without a stored procedure?Thanks in advance.
  4. Hi,I've used this site for years and absolutely love it. Its biggest help to me came when I used it to introduce me to XML and now its helpful to help me double check my syntax with SQL. I mention this mainly since this is my first post and just wanted to pay that testiment.My question is, why is there no Cold Fusion tutorial? Is it mainly because you would have to have this site running with Cold Fusion to be consistant with all the other tutorials?If that is the main reason, would you consider the example popups to be run on a remote server (for example, maybe mine?). Do you also need an author to create the same ASP or PHP tutorial in Cold Fusion?Any feedback is appreciate. Keep up the excellent work on maintaining the site.
