RE: Website Comments (PHP)

Ah, I think I know what your saying now then, yeah I was thinking of
something like that, but with my experience level I don't think I could
make it secure, also I could use a mySQL database, but I am making it on
my site, then probably moving it to his webhost. Perhaps you could help
me come up with a good solution. Sounds like you have an excellent idea
though :) I would assume it would be a page similar to a bb
administration page, based on sessions, and editing a SQL databse, or
were you still going for a text database?

Perhaps I didn't explain myself well enough.  The javascript/ActiveX 
solution is only necessary for the user who is entering content into the

database.  The output is pure HTML (or XHTML if you prefer :)

Agreed, although it's feasible if its restricted to just the person 
entering data.  None of it would be visible to the general public.

Looks like I mis-interpreted your question.  My answer created a pure
HTML 
(or PHP) website that used PHP pages to allow users with little HTML 
programming experience to edit the content within the website.
