Online video is big business nowadays.

The All New YUI Selector Utility

One of my favourite things about jQuery is the ease in which elements on your page can be obtained; you can grab single elements using ids, or multiple elements using class names, tag names and even attributes or other more complex patterns using a syntax almost identical to that of CSS. This makes the library extremely flexible and very attractive to those with little JavaScript knowledge but experience with CSS.

Building a website with Restricted Access: Part II

In the first part of this tutorial we created a site, which had several user levels and covered the set-up of the site, creating an Access database and providing access to our site.

We created a Login page using the standard Dreamweaver behaviour, and then altered the code to allow us to use a single login page for both Administration and Standard users.

Furthermore we created an additional Session from the login page, so we could filter a recordset throughout the site to show our visitor details, such as their Name on every page.

To enable our visitors to gain access to view the restricted parts of the site, we created a Registration page.

In this second part of the tutorial we will be expanding upon our previously built site, enabling our visitors to recall their access details, and tracking each time a user logs In and Out.

We will also enable our visitors to update their own details, and provide an Administration section to control the site accounts. Again we will be using the standard Dreamweaver behaviours, and altering them where required.
