Tips for those just getting started with a WebServer App
(1/1)
Gregg Matteson:
Thought I'd start a thread of hopefully helpful hints for those just getting started...
If you intend to create a web app that uses static pages -
1. decide if the pages will be fixed width, how wide they will be and if centered or not. ( reasoning- The above factors will dictate the design that fits for some screens. Example, a procedure with two or more tables side by side might not work out if you decide to make your static pages fixed width centered at 700 pixels.)
2. Use a static page for a procedure or two to see how the above all plays out then change the links back to the regular non-static urls until you have most if not all of your site complete. This will save you a lot of grief and time.
From experience I can tell you that if I had it to do over again I would do it this way.

Gregg,
I've heard this suggestion before, but I'm a little confused. What's a static page? Is that an HTML document.
I have HTML pages that use the <!-- NetWebServer --> tag as the first line. Is this what you mean.
Could you elaborate...
George.
Gregg Matteson:
George,
Yes that's exactly what I meant. Reference to "static" comes from the Nettalk docs.

The terminology can get confusing, but if you use the Joomla constructs of static and dynamic, which seems to be a quasi standard, then you cannot go far wrong.
Typically, a static page is an HTML page who's content rarely/never changes, eg., an About page on the website.
A dynamic page would be one who's content is driven by Db, or other, info in order to generate it. Such as an inventory browse or report.
