VINE SOFTWARE - WEB PAGES
Web page authoring
Vine Software and its associated companies can produce the Web pages
for your Web site or Intranet. Whereas we can produce simple text-based
pages (such as this one) in-house, our associated companies are
specialists in designing large Web sites and pages with sophisticated
graphics - both static and dynamic. Because we have a large range of
browsers available on-site, we can ensure that your pages will look
good on most browsers on most platforms.
CGI (interactive) scripts
Interactive pages - where the user types information which is then
processed - usually use CGI scripts to process the information which is
supplied. (A simple examples is our
Visitor Book)
We can add the forms to your existing pages, create additional pages,
or use the forms which already exist in your pages. These forms can be
used to just supply information, interact with your existing data
bases, or any other applications you can think of. In any case the
scripts we produce will be robust and secure and, wherever possible,
able to handle changes you make to your data base or Web pages without
changes being required to the scripts themselves.
Dynamic Pages
Dynamic pages, with moving images and other effects, can be
produced using the more sophisticated capabilities of the
browser. For example the changing coloured balls on the
home page just do that, rather than
JavaScript or whatever.
JAVA & JavaScript
Java and JavaScript allow more dynamic Web pages and finer control of
the browser than is possible with simple HTML.
If your browser is enabled for JavaScript a simple message will be
scrolling across the status area of your browser.
We can write the JAVA applets or JavaScript inserts for you from
scratch, or locate and incorporate Public Domain JavaScripts or
applets into your web pages.
PHP
Using PHP (and other languages such as MicroSoft's ASPs) it is possible
to create web pages where the content is created dynamically as the
page is loaded to the browser. This type of page is often used in
conjunction with databases.
See the Site map for an example of a PHP page.
Server Side Includes
This is another technique for producing pages whose contents
varies dynamically. They are also used to include common text,
such as the footer on each of the pages on this site
Because Server Side Includes put a load on the web server they
are often
disabled, but if they are enabled we can use them both to make
your pages more impressive and also easier to maintain. If you
control your server we can also configure it to offer controlled
access to Server Side Includes (see the
System Administration page).
Data Base Access
Many web pages need to access databases. We have extensive experience
of interfacing to many of the common SQL-based databases.
As a trivial example of using the database, the counts below
which log the total number of times each page has been
accessed and the number of times you have viewed this page are
included as a
Server Side Include which calls a Perl
CGI Script that manipulates a MySQL
database to manage the counts of each pages' accesses.
This script uses your IP number to maintain the visit count.
If you are using a dial-up account then your IP
number changes each time you connect and this number will be
meaningless.
