I've got to make a searchable database using html, javascript and asp. I've got most of the code, I don't think I'll have a problem there. But this is all new to me and I'm not sure what I'm doing with it. I think I'll need:
1) html page with the form in
2) ASP file getting the search field from the html and running it through the database and then creating html to send back to the browser
3) The database.

So three files will make this work yeah? Also if anyone could give me a breakdown of what my asp file should look like in theory that would be great, even if it's just like 'Connect to db, blah blah blah, blah blah'

Thanks in advance

This uses flash to display and search the files but your ASP page will not change much. Instead of printing to flash simply print to screen.
