Keeping databases and descriptions up to date can be a daunting task. While lots of places use ASP and an mdb, we’re doing it slightly different – with includes. Yes, it’s more work, but it’ll work out easier for the technical abilities of other librarians here.
- Each database is stored in a .html file with the html coding and description for that database.
- In the code for the web page on whichi we wish to display the database we use a <!–#include –> command to include the text from that file.
- Updating the .htm for the database will automatically update it on each page where that database is listed.
It works for us, since we don’t feel like getting deep into SQL and ASP. If you want, I can share the procedure from the beginning to the end.
