Hi all..
I'm a programmer with some decent amount of experience, but I'm new to this web programming stuff, thus my post here in the beginners page. What I'm trying to do is create a web page with the top N number of news articles listed; where for each article there is a date, a short headline (up to 5 words) and a short description (one sentence) of the article. Some (or all) components would then be links to the full article. Yes, I want this to be dynamic. No, I don't want to have to edit the home page every time a news article is submitted. Any ideas on how to implement such a thing? I was thinking of some kind of JavaScript <-> Database connection or (this seems hacky, but..) some kind of server-side include method. Is there a better (or standard) way? Help appreciated! -Eric

You can't access a db directly from javascript and you shouldn't if you could (you'd be exposing how to connect to your db in code readable by anybody!)
You really should check out PHP. This sort of thing is what PHP was made for and is very easy to do.
