General
I created the samples on this site to demonstrate typical functionality that works well and can be used with success in Intranet, Extranet and public Website environments.

The site was built using MS FrontPage 2002. This allows for WYSIWYG design, but forces both server-side and client-side scripting entirely via hand coding. While this may seem like a drawback, it is actually a benefit to the coder, for the same reason coding HTML in Notepad is.

This application is written entirely by me. In addition, I configured all database, DSN, hosting setup, SMTP and related pieces that allow the site to work. I did use some of the tables from the ubiquitous Northwind sample database from Microsoft, so that I would not have to populate a lot of data in a fresh database of my design. No FrontPage built in database connection features were used.

Security
This application uses table based security. That is, when a user logs in his credentials are verified against the Users table in the database. Session variables are set to persist the users status. Each page first checks these to ensure that the user is valid and is logged on in this session, preventing access to pages inside the application if the checks fail.

In an Intranet (domain or AD) scenario, Windows built in authentication (or a combination of Windows and table-based) can be used, eliminating the need for a user to login.

Things to Notice
In this application, I have tried to incorporate elements that would be found in a typical commercial application. Screen validations, popup windows, user alerts, etc. are done in JavaScript, with the server-side written in VBScript, "Classic" ASP.
