I am currently developing a website that will allow a user to insert what ingredients they have into a txt box, and when the user clicks on the "Search" button, the website will then proceed to search the MS Express 2005 SQL Database for recipes relating to any of the searches.

I am not sure how to code this, and is it better to bring to the user to a separate search result page, or keep it on the same page in a gridview or dataview. Also I need the database to able to allow the ability to view the databases in detail. I was thinking that once had been selected that it be shown in a gridview or a form of its own detailing as follows:

RECIPE NAME

INGREDIENTS

METHOD OF CREATING.

if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Have you had any training in computer system analysis and design? You need to understand the principles at least if you intend to build anything more than the simplest web sites. Look at http://www.systemsanalysis.co.nr/ (http://www.systemsanalysis.co.nr/) for an introduction. We wouldn’t want you to build lots of speed restrictions, pinch points and sleeping policemen on our roads only to find that they don’t actually reduce road deaths after all, now would we?
