I'm still pretty new too ASP programming, but I'm getting better each day.

On my website, I'm building a movie review page, which consists of a table showing the movies that has been reviewed in the right colum.

On the main table in the left colum, I want to have the actual review of a selected movie - how do I make it in plain coding, i can do it in Dreamweaver, but the past 2 weeks i have been trying to avoid using the program for ASP programming (Somehow it messes up everything i write in plain text).

Can anyone please help me. i would like to learn how to do it.

you must explain a little more..
right column has movie links to a reviews page?
review text is in a db table?

if so then pass info through the link with id...
a href="reviews.asp?id=1"

then call the info from db
"SELECT * FROM reviews WHERE id=" & Request.QueryString("id") &" "

does that help?

Dreamweaver is excellent for asp

Yeah, the text is in a Db table, and i didn't think it was that simple - thanx for the answer.

Btw, you're right Dreamweaver is excellent for asp.
