Thanks for the input, Jim.

You're the second person to recommend RevIgniter. Sivakatirswami also highly praises the product and even sent me a bunch of code off-list to help with my project!

At this point, I'm a little fuzzy on what a framework even is, let alone how to use it. (I'm a TV cameraman at a little production company in Tokyo -- turned into the in-house IT dep't, web designer and programmer only because I seem to grok computers more than anyone else in the company!) But I'm ready to study up on it all.

Thanks to both of you for the pointers!

Hi Tim,

Take this advice with a grain of salt, since I'm a relative newbie at On-Rev 
and access to databases.

Recently, I've been exploring RevIgniter by Ralf Bitter.  In the RevIgniter 
documentation, he has a tutorial on using the RevIgniter JQuery Library for 
Ajax interaction on a website.  He also has good documentation on the 
RevIgniter Database Library.  With this guidance, I've been able to include 
several auto-updating text boxes on a webpage that load information to my 
webpage from a mySQL table on my On-Rev account.  Ralf Bitter does address 
security issues in the documentation.   I am still struggling with using 
drop-down buttons to access database data.  Also, I've not tried to upload 
pictures, which you may need for a catalog.

This approach does involve a learning curve to be able to use RevIgniter but 
the documentation is very good.

I am using Coda with a LiveCoda-HTML mode posted 12Oct2011 on the Users Forums 
by TheCore.  In the preferences for Coda, I then use TextMate as the primary 
editor for .lc and .rev files;  Ralf Bitter has a TextMate bundle for 
RevIgniter on the website.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I'm beginning to learn how to use<?rev scripts to access mysql databases on my 
on-rev.com account.

I am going to allow users to search a catalog, but no uploading and no data 
entry or data editing...

What, if any, security problems do I need to consider? mySQL newbie...

Thanks,
