| I currently have some static pages with some recipes that I no longer want
to keep up with so I thought I may make them ASP pages and have them update
automatically. But I have a few dilemmas. (I am new at this)
(You may want to take a look at the RECIPE section at
www.boathousetimes.com)
<Part 1 - Output>
First I have a listing of Types of Recipes (Beverage, snack, etc.) with
links to the specific recipe. I am picturing this as having 5 tables (not
database tables,HTML) here to display the recipe types. Each table would be
a repeating section until the SORT for that TYPE OF RECIPE (Beverage, snack,
etc.) hit EOF. Then the next table (say SNACK) would populate until EOF and
so on.
Do you think this is a good method or is there a better way?
<Part 2 - Input>
If you go and take a look at any of the recipes you will see Ingredients. I
want to keep this part consistent with the current format, that being I do
not want two ingredients on the same line. So rather than have a MEMO field
in which to enter this info, I was thinking of having several fields (1 to 8
say) where each ingredient would go in a text box. This would assure
consistency. I have experienced people entering in ingredients sequentially
without any carriage returns. So it looks like this:
1 cup crushed ice 1/4 cup Vodka 1/4 cup Blue Curacao 1/4 cup whipping cream
2 Tablespoons vanilla flavored syrup (Torani Ginger Syrup optional, found at
World Market)
2 Tablespoons fresh orange juice 1 Tablespoon Cointreau or other orange
flavored liqueur
When I need it to look like this:
1 cup crushed ice
1/4 cup Vodka
1/4 cup Blue Curacao
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 Tablespoons vanilla flavored syrup (Torani Ginger Syrup optional, found at
World Market)
2 Tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 Tablespoon Cointreau or other orange flavored liqueur
Any other ideas on how to keep this data consistent?
I have more questions but I think that will work for now.
Cheers
Houston.
