'+jlink+'=\'Structure and design\'; return true;" onclick="mainwriter(16); return false;">Structure, Design, and Layout Control - 1? Forms can be processed using either .ASP based VBScript or Javascript. When you SUBMIT a form using .ASP, data is sent to a server-based RESPONSE PROCESSING PAGE - the target for the form. Here the data can be processed to either update or collect new information from an ACCESS database and to run scripts in the .ASP page which in turn generates new content for the browser. Loading this page often requires refreshing and reloading much of the screen content - images etc - with subsequent CLIENT-SERVER delays. As well as these delays, there are also security risks associated with loading a response page: If the form process allows access to a secure space then "refresh" permits similar access. This is open to abuse - as you surf the super-inter-cyber-ether-net and pass through a secure site on your travels, although you have left the site, if you briefly wander away from your workstation to make a cup of tea, a complete stranger can walk up to your open browser window, click "back" a few times and bang - they have access to your '+jlink+'=\'security matters\'; return true;" onclick="mainwriter(24); return false;">secure area!

maintext=maintext+'Online Documentation. So that the Web Bank can function properly, effective communication between all of the following languages and code types becomes necessary: HTML, JavaScript, .ASP, SQL, PHP, and Flash via LiveConnect. Most browsers on most platforms can accomodate some level of communication between these different languages; some work hand-in-hand, some work better than others, some behave differently depending on the browser or OS. In general, the more languages you employ at any one time, the harder they are to reliably coordinate, and you can rarely get more than 2 or 3 talking to each other successfully. However, as they all have slightly different roles to play, a website using a combiniation of several scripting sources will always be more versatile than a site employing only one.

You can use the following image types for your backdrop: .gif, .jpg, or .png, (NB some older browsers do not support .png format). For best results, a balance is required between size and quality of image - smaller images on nearby, fast servers work better than larger images on either slow or distant servers, but if you use a small image for a fullscreen backdrop, there may be a noticeable drop in image quality - in general, low capacity .png and .gif images may prove to be more efficient that .jpgs.
