Kelli, that's what I thought you would do. Your app requirements seem pretty "out there" (as in, not something everyone and their mother is doing, hence not likely to have a pre-rolled package).

Pretty much, yes. My biggest headache is keeping up with whatever new BS changes are made to browsers (usually IE) that don't conform to any standards. It gets ridiculous having to write different code for three or more browser standards. I like doing something ONCE, not two, three, four, five times. I stopped coding for Windows for that very reason. Software that ran on Windows 95 should run on Windows 7. I can understand it not working the other way around, but for Chrissakes... /rant

Code for standard CSS and HTML. Use exclusion style sheets for the IE workarounds :)

Yeah I hear ya. That's exactly what I'm talking about. There's actually three different builds. One for Firefox, Opera and company, one for IE 5 and 6, and another for IE 7+.

I also use a LOT of Javascript and AJAX, so that makes things even more interesting.

Good luck. Last time I did Website Programming was using Perl along with whatever Perl module it is that provides an easy OOP interface between the browser screen and MySQL. Never got into Ajax or javascript so I'm out of touch with how it's all being done these days. However, I've noticed some of my Perl driven apps are still up and running. They're not pretty but they've stood the test of time I suppose.

I wrote a database for a sales company back in the late 90's using Perl and VB6. It used flat files to store data and they had like 50,000 items of office supplies, with pictures. The website was automatically updated by the warehouse database which was the VB app. It was pretty cool. I should be a friggin' millionaire. I have no clue why I'm not. Oh well.

Heh, just found that code project (the Perl side) on my Netbook in the web development section of my Apache directory. I forgot how many modules I wrote for that. Dozens. There's probably 100,000 lines of Perl code. I made $10,000 on that job. Took me about two months.
