Understanding database updates

In addition to its capabilities to take information from content sources and place it on a page, GoLive provides features for updating information in a database or taking other actions that send information from a browser form to a server for processing.

In HTML, information can be sent from a form in a browser to a specific URL (the form action URL). Code on that page then processes the form data, updates the database, and then can redirect the browser to another page that is displayed for the user. GoLive provides a simple way of causing the form to send the data to the proper page, provides all of the code on that page, and allows you to specify the page to be displayed after the update occurs.
