[REBOL] free web hosting with rebol Re:(3)
Hi Martin, don't forget about the extra load scripts will put on your server. You could spend alot of time creating a great script and end up having to pay extra for system resources. Just me thoughts. :) timmy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi folks, I'm new at Rebol, and I would like to have som thoughts of mine straighted out or confirmed: 1. A Rebol script can be used to fetch data from a textfile and put the data into a HTML template, thus creating an unique web page? In this way one may render lots of documents of the same kind, but with unique data, such as a list of products where each product is linked to a script-generated information page? 2. A Rebol script can be used in the way above, but on the server side, reading data from a text file for input to the HTML template. In this way, Rebol may serve the same function as Visual Basic or Javascript within an Active Server Page? 3. Which one of the two above methods is preferred -- rendering unique web pages with a script or having the script read data "on the fly" thus providing dynamic web pages? I would be really glad to get some ideas on this, and maybe even some code that I can play around with to learn from. Thanks! Kind regards, Martin Lindholm

In this way one may render lots of documents of the same kind, but with unique data, such as a list of products where each product is linked to a script-generated information page? Yes. Have a look at my HTML script on http://www.rebol.org for an example. Plus various other similar systems from Carl and others. 2. A Rebol script can be used in the way above, but on the server side, reading data from a text file for input to the HTML template. In this way, Rebol may serve the same function as Visual Basic or Javascript within an Active Server Page? Yes, by using the Apache REBOL module or as a CGI process. Or, lacking those, using prebuilt pages output from a rebol script. 3. Which one of the two above methods is preferred -- rendering unique web pages with a script or having the script read data "on the fly" thus providing dynamic web pages? If your information is static, static HTML pages would be quicker. If your information is changing with each click, then the Apache module would be quickest, followed by the REBOL in CGI mode. I would be really glad to get some ideas on this, and maybe even some code that I can play around with to learn from. Thanks! http://www.rebol.org and the examples on http://www.rebol.com I hope that helps! Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.xoom.com/AndrewMartin/ --
