I have been writing webpages for a while now but I need a new one to do something that I don’t know how to do, and don’t even know what the function is called! It’s hard to research the answer without the question!
Here’s what I want it to do, actually there are 2 different things I need….
1) We have a restaurant website. I want to be able to have an admin page where we can enter the daily specials and have them appear in a cell on a table on one of my pages. I’m flexible on where it appears, if it has to be it’s own page, that’s okay, it can be made into a popup.
Would this be a database? Can I do this with Access?
2) I want people to be able to assemble an order from a form, but we have a HUGE menu. If I were to put all of the items with all of the possible combinations of questions (fries, soup or salad? what kind of dressing would you like on your salad? etc.) it would be enormous and no one would want to use it. Ideally, all of our items would be listed and if they checked one, say a burger, then a unique set of questions would pop up for that specific item (temperature, add ons, sides, special instructions). Then the next item can be ordered. all of this info would be assembled into an email or even a text document that they could print and fax to us.
So, what is that? asp? php? am I on pcp just for thinking this is possible? ?
Thanks for your time!
