I am a first time user of both Dreamweaver and ColdFusion
having about 8 hours experience with Dreamweaver. I am using
Dreamweaver CS4 and Coldfusion-8. I have developed a parent html
screen in Dreamweaver and inserted some buttons to allow users to
download files. All of the html stuff i wanted to do I can do.
I also want to have a SignUp Form linked to the Dreamweaver
mainform. In the SignUp Form, I want to have about 10 fields to
collect info from the person signing up for a class. I would like
the data collected to be "posted" to a Coldfusion database. Once
there is data in the database, I would like an administrator access
to the database via the internet for purposes of generating
reports, generally organizing the names in groups associated with a
Class Start date. On the signup form I would like the
ClassStartDate field to be a dropdown with a list of start dates
being the only dates that can be selected. When a class capacity is
reached, the date either no longer would be in the list or it would
not be an active selection choice.
Can anyone provide a step-by-step instruction on creating a
Coldfusion data-entry form, linked to a database and having the
ability to display its data-entry fields on a form so users may
signup for a class. If I can get this capability going I can
probably figure out the rest. I have used SQL before and am
comfortable working with native databases such as Access so
generating the reports I want should not be impossible for me to
figure out.
Any help would be appreciated! If there are tutorials on this
site that you can direct me to, that would be great TOO.
