Hi,
Well, it could be a variety of scripts / languages, depending
on the
developers platform of choice. The usual choice is either PHP
or ASP /
ASP.NET.
I would suggest that, if there is any kind of marketing
activity going on in
the background (such as tracking quote requests for example),
then such a
facility will be using a database of some sort. MySQL if
they're using PHP
or MSSQL / Access if they're using ASP.
It's a pretty random question though, so I hope I'm making
sense! When you
say "price quote forms" do you mean a system that allows a
user to enter
information about themselves (for example an insurance
quotation), and then
"it" produces a price based on their input?
I'm sure you'd get plenty of help with such a system.
Dreamweaver will
handle the basics of the database integration, and form
building, but you
may need to learn some programming / database language, or
hire someone to
do that, for the more technical side of things. It really
depends how
complex a system you are creating of course.
I hope this is useful,
Regards
Nath.
