I think you might want to try using input boxes for your guestbook. Just have the action set to whatever file you want to save to. As for the news, you can always setup a SSL page for authentication, and set the window/frame you want the news to view, to read a specific HTML file instead of being coded into the page. That way you can have the news submitted into a news.html and viewed in the same page. Hope that makes any sence. :P

uhh yea umm ok ??? ??? I kinda get what you are saying about the guest book and thats about it :-\

oh and i'm using screem but I see what I can do tonight.

What I mean about the news is, Lets say you have a 3 frame index.html page. On your "submit news" button you have a link going to "https://www.site.com/news.html" directing anyone to a login, and then a set in input boxes in the authorized page. From there the info in the boxes are submitted to a file called "newspage.html". On your index.html, instead of typing the news in frame #2, you have that frame monitor "newspage.html", that way all submitted info is then printed out on frame #2. How about now? Make sence? ;D

now i'm even more confused I don't really get it

1. make a 3 frame "index.html"
2. in that page I have a submit button that takes you to a site called "news.html" which askes them to login ??? thats how far I got :'(

could mabey give a better example one for a little kid mabey ;D

[mojo jojo]

Hello
well I have searched around and tried messing with telnet but I think it what i'm doing wrong is I dont know where to telnet to :-[

[Kernel_Killer]

I would forget telnet. Use ssh instead. Looks like the only reason they want you to telnet is to view the file.

[mojo jojo]

ssh ??? now i'm gonna get even more fucked > the tut says telnet you say ssh then other site say use the damn gui > >
