Hey there -

I'm looking for a script that will let me create a searchable database on my domain. Specifically, I'm looking for one that will go on a radio station site, where I can enter all of the CD's and albums in the station, and visitors can search the catalog.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :}

Sounds to me like you need to be using a server-side language :)

Try in the PHP or ASP boards :p

Yup - javascript can't do this...

Semi-Incorrect, Whammy. I have done something quite similar to this... not with PHP, ASP, or JavaScript alone, but with XML+JavaScript.

Create an XML database with the information you want to use and be able to search.

Use the script posted here to import your XML data to your HTML page:

Either write a search script, or modify one from www.javascriptkit.com to search through the XML data as if it were a database.

I would post the script I wrote, but I don't have it at home, it's at work. If I remember, I'll post it in this forum sometime next week.
