Client-side web boards

[JackDoolan]

Hello there!

I am currently setting up my first web page in the space provided by apple.com as part of my iTools/.Mac services.

Among other things, I was planning to start a web board using one of the ready-made PHP boards out there. So far my attempts have failed, and the closest I've been to having my own web board is having the code displayed whenever I click the link, without the board itself showing up.

The lads at apple declare that they cannot answer web-design related questions, but only technical ones. Yet, they do tell me to keep in mind that any web code requiring server-side scripting is not supported by the host they provide.

As a complete newbie, I can only suspect what this means, but experienced html/php coders such as you might be able to help me. Is it possible to host a web board without crossing the "server-side" line apple forbids to cross?

Thanks in advance for your time.

i don't believe there are any client side options for you out there, i don't think javascript is able to do such wonders, there may be JAVA options, but it is doubtful that apple will let you use JAVA on your site either

So, that pretty much means I either find another host or forget about the web board...

🙁

Well, Apple offers me 100mb of web space, so I'll invest them in something else. If I find a reasonable host that supports php, I'll just set the web board there and link from my apple web page.

Thanks for your swift reply.

Still, does anyone know of another option?
