I don't like it. Having a flash version would be ok, but for those of us on 56k, the time between page loads is long enough(1sec is long enough) to ruin the effect...

A more elaborate flash would be nice.

Thanks for your feedback, but I can't be assed :). The only thing that my site is use for is to show off to potential employers, and as my main skill is ASP development then that is what I want to use

So what exactly is wrong with that platform?

nothing :)
it may affect the portability of your site in the future tho. also I assume you own the products you use right?

Played TDC :)

Jas: I don't have a problem with the platform, i just find it odd you choose to host your sites on a web platform that has suffered from many huge worms over the past few years, and which has been proven to be insecure - What makes you think more such probelsm won't be found in it?
I also find it bizzare that you choose to work in SP, when languages such as PHP have a far brighter future, not least because they're open.

Well, I don't think Microsoft are going to go broke do you? :) And yes - I do pay for my software, why would you doubt that?

Any platform is insecure when it is not properly setup and maintained (eg)

There are much more Microsoft based development jobs than ever before, and growing (I know - I used to work in online recruitment advertising) - hence my choice

I believe TDC isn't reffering to pirate software, but to the new licence type stuff MS have come up with XP. I believe it means that you don't actually own the software...

then you're in the same minority group as I am :)

still, I'd have thought that you'd be tailoring your site to fit the widest possible webserver market. after all a browser can read almost anything but getting the content out there is the hard bit aiiii

Well... I could retort mentioning Chillisoft ASP, but I know it sucks donkeys

Jas, *constructive* criticism on yer ASP...

- always do "if not rs.eof then" after doing rs.open to avoid those nasty "EOF or BOF is true" errors being displayed if things go wrong.
- you're missing a "conn.close" at the end, and since (if my failing memory serves) Access has a 20 concurrent connection limit if you get that many peeps opening the page within the session timeout time you'll get a "too many connections" error. Had this one a year back and took ages to find it.
- try to avoid doing "select * from ...", but name your columns, so use "select content from pages..." for the first sql statement.

Apart from them the code is fine. I check code from my two programmers at work each day :)

Oh and as for your choice of platform there's nothing wrong with MS ASP. There's also nothing wrong with loonix PHP either. That sound slightly contraversial?

Where I work our main site runs on Win2k with IIS5 and SQL Server (any client), and we also support several installations of Suse running Oracle 8, Apache and Nutscrape clients.

Cheers Jernau, thank for your feedback - I'll have a look though

Whereabouts do you work in Manchester? Want to offer me a job? :) I am currently working as a designer/developer for a broadband startup near St. Peters Square.
