Hi there.
I am new to Web design, but I am a database programmer.
I have been given the task to add a few new pages to a current Intranet.
2 questions.
1) How do I import the current asp pages into codecahrge.
2) I would like to add a button to an existing page and then open a new page for data input.
The new page will have a common field- like orderid(for linking the 2 tables, like orders and order details).
The original page has the orders, but the new page will have the order detail.
How do make a new button on the order page open to the order-detail page.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff - WEB Newbee

Re: 1
You can just copy your ASP files/pages into CCS project folder. Then in CCS Project Explorer click on the "Files" tab to see those files and open/edit them.
Of course you cannot convert ASP programs into CCS pages.
Re: 2
I don't recommend using buttons for now, until you learn how to use the standard method and use links. Usually links are used for this as shown in all CCS examples. Thus add a link anywhere in your Order form that opens a new page.
Similar examples are in CCS Example pack. This example has a link that open a new search page, although you could use the same method to open a detail entry page: http://examples.codecharge.com/ExamplePack/PopUpList/PopUpList.php
But I'm afraid that this can be difficult to implement if you are new to Web development, especially if you want to use a new page to edit order details for a new order that wasn't saved yet. Have you seen such solution somewhere on the Web?
Here is an example shows how to implement order header & detail on one page: http://examples.codecharge.com/ExamplePack/OrderEntry/OrderEntry.php

Thanks for the info.
Another question.
Gor some reason, when i open an existing file, like you said, I only get code, no design.
How come? What do i do so I can at least see the design of the page.
Regards,
Jeff

Hmm, it is not possible to see the design of manually created ASP programs. I'm not even sure how could this work.

The file I am trying to look at is an existing asp file that was created by someone else.
What do I do?
Regards,
Jeff

Jeff,
Honest answer: forget about it 
Explanation: I don't know of any tools in the world that can reliably convert an ASP program to anything else. I guess if it's an ASP program then an ASP programmer should maintain it.
But if the original author is not available and you have CCS then you should be able to quickly recreate the same program based on its functionality and the database. You don't even need the ASP program in that case, just create new pages with the same look and feel, and functionality.
If it's a simple program that took less than a week to be developed then somebody could probably recreate it in CCS in shorter time then we're having this discussion If you are new to CCS then you may consider contacting YesSoftware to check if they could provide help, or visit our Help Available forums at http://forums.codecharge.com/forum.php?forum_id=20
