Building the Recordset for an HTML Database Form - The Other Records
(Page 2 of 4 )
You need at least five records to really understand the recordset. You can join all the code segments in this part and the previous part of the series to form a web page, which is entirely new compared to the other web pages we have had in the earlier parts of the series.
Let me emphasize here that the amount of text for the TEXTAREA element can be very large. There is no problem with that since the problem of download time can be solved today. I intend to write an article on that.
This large amount of text will not occupy space since the TEXTAREA element has small dimensions. By default the TEXTAREA element has the vertical scroll bar. The user can use this to scroll down if he finds the content interesting.
The traditional way to do this is to have a link that the user will click and then go to another page that will have all the text. The disadvantage with this traditional method is that, when the user goes to the new page. he is not in the position to easily see the other watches and compare, then make his choice.
My page configuration in this part of the series gives the user the chance to see many things at one time. This increases the chances for him to buy from your site if you have this design.
If you are writing a large amount of text for the small TEXTAREA element, begin with the most important aspect of the text.
I also have to emphasize that the pictures should not be too small or too large. In that way, they can fit as record elements.
