Hello,
This is my first post here, so Hi everyone
. I was advised to come to this site by a friend regarding a query that I have, so here I am.
So we have the E-Commerce subject in this semester. One of the case studies given to us involves creating a website.
BUT
The faculty wants us to create the site using only HTML / XML / WML / DHTML and MS Access / Oracle / SQL
Does anyone here know how do you link to a database using ONLY the above. No asp, jsp, php. He is very specific that no server-side scripting language should be used.
EDIT:
The topic chosen by me is "Auto Dealer"
The website will be created for an automobile dealer, which will have the following:
1. Browsing of all available automobile, with their photos, specifications and prices ( updated weekly )
2. Infomation about Loan / EMI calculated depending on info given by the visitor.
3. Form for leaving call-back details.
/EDIT:
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

It's impossible to get data from a database with only HTML/DHTML. If they expect you to then they should be fired. HTML is a completely static language. There are no facilities of a programming language aside from Server Side Includes.

Hello ShawnCplus,
Thanks for the reply..
Would javascript help the above ? Probably not, right ?
I agree with you on one thing. He's someone who thinks he knows everything.
Anyway, can you comment on the topic that I've chosen ? Say I start making it in php. Would it be good enough ?

You can't really interact with a database with JavaScript but PHP can do it quite easily. Read up a bit on PHP and you'll find that the task is quite simple.

you can technically fake the interaction if thats what he means.
AJAX uses javascript to interact with a server side page. you dont actually see the page interacting with the javascript so it would technically be a html page. so to speak.

Every page served to the client technically has a content type of 'text/html'. The dynamic nature is due to the merit of the form element being able to post its data to a remote resource specified by it's action property, which is capable of processing that data.

Again, with URL rewriting and redirection, those file extensions and URL's don't mean anything. I can very well have a page with url http://www.mysite.com/do.sos and serve a static page called index.html to the client.

Especially with Apache directives like AddType and AddHandler, you can assign custom extensions.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .sos AddHandler x-httpd-php .sos

If the database was to be openly accessible *shudder*, albeit with a username and password.
Then you can most likely access the database with javascript and odbc (jdbc?).
If that is the case then no server-side scripting would be needed.
