Confirmation Pages
I will have a public access site with the only restriction being that
visitors must register themselves to get access to certain downloadable
software.
I created a form that is located in the root Web site that provides a
description of new beta software. If people are interested, they are asked
to fill out a registration form;
Once the form is filled out, the registrant clicks a “Submit†button on the
form with fields that are linked to a back-end Access database located on the
web site. Once the information is submitted successfully (I assume), a
“confirmation.asp†feedback form is triggered announcing the completion of
the registration process. The confirmation form includes a button the hat
permits the newly registered user to continue to down load the software.
Questions -
If I must locate the Registration form in the root Web site of the server
that host a restricted subweb, or the directory, containing download files;
and since a registration form can’t reside within the root Web site to which
it provides public access:
Is it a good strategy to located the, “registration.mdbâ€, “registration.aspâ€
form, “conformation.asp†form and software in the same registration subweb;
or should the software have its own download subweb directory below the
registration subweb directory?
How do I retrieve the information from the, “registration.mdb†located on my
web site?
Finally, why do I need a restricted subweb if all that I am doing is storing
software; why not a subfolder or directory? Wouldn’t the restricted
registration subweb be sufficient? Can you create a subweb without anything
being in it right away? Is the only difference between a subweb and a
directory (folder) is that subweb are restricted?
