Dear valued user,
Thank you for installing WhizBase®.

LEARN HOW WHIZBASE APPLICATIONS ARE CREATED

Get started with WhizBase by looking at code for a basic WhizBase application. You create applications by typing WhizBase keywords directly in your WYSIWYG editor, or using Power pack wizards, intuitive, wizard-style, free tool for generating basic database-related WhizBase pages.

WhizBase includes over 250 keywords to communicate with database, display content, provide user interaction, and manage layout. Application logic is programmed using either WhizBase control sequences or by delegating the tasks to external scripts written in VBScript, JavaScript or any other scripting language you might have installed on your server.

When the page is browsed, server renders requested WBSP file and sends it to browser as plain HTML page, which means that your visitors do not need any additional software and/or license on their side.

SEE HOW IT'S DONE

Here is the code for a very simple database example that provides an interface for a user to browse through the database.

Open your plain HTML file in your favorite editor and position the cursor where you want to display your database contents 

Type the following code
[FormFields]
wb_basename=biblio.mdb
wb_rcdset=titles
wb_command=q
$wbdetail[T]

Save page as wbsp file (some_name.wbsp) and upload it to
the server together with biblio.mdb file

For more examples, please check "How to..." section in WhizBase documentation (help file).
