ASP Conversion of Website

Website: [login to view URL] Currently, the website is mostly programmed in html. While maintaining the look, feel and navigation of the website, I need it to be more dynamic. Specifically: A) ASP Scripting 1. ASP script for the headers. Please note the graphics at the top change to include the title of the page. See [login to view URL] as it relates to [login to view URL] . 2. ASP script for the left navigation menu that includes the following functionality: Menu should be compiled from a table of contents (TOC) text file, so that future pages can be updated and added automatically to the menu. As an example an entry in the TOC file should look like the following: Title URL Mortgages and Refinancing [login to view URL] Menu Item should be highlighted, and html link should not be present when the URL in the menu item equals either the current URL, or a URL within that section. I understand that this latter part will require some additional hand coding in order for it to work. The current coding allows for this functionality. See [login to view URL] and how the menu item on the left is highlighted, even though this isn’t the main “Mortgages and Refinance” section. 3. ASP script for the footer that pulls from a common “footer code” file, so this can updated from time to time. 4. Currently there are articles that are shown in PDF format when the client clicks on a relative link. I would like it for each article to be able to be shown within the context of it’s parent section. In other words, the ASP script will pull the article’s text from a separate document, but will also populate a new title. 5. Please keep in mind there are currently a dozen or so articles on the site. There are another 20 advice articles being written. 6. IF possible (by changing the file/directory layout if necessary) I would like for breadcrumbs on each page. I only want this if it will be automatically updated whenever we add a new article and/or page. 7. For EVERY instance of ASP coding that is pulling in a part of the asp page, there should be a comment. Comments should be very explicit. For instance instead of a comment that says “This script pulls in the footer text”, it should say “This script pulls in the footer text from ‘[login to view URL]’ file”. This web site is jointly managed, maintained and updated by a team of people. Only one of them has any knowledge of ASP. 8. The website should be tested on the following browsers at both 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions: Internet Explorer Netscape Navigator AOL Mozilla Firefox If an ASP feature will only work on the very latest version of one of the browsers, resulting in an error otherwise, then a browser check should be done, the offending feature disabled, and a line of text advising the client to update their browser should be shown. However they should still be able to get the bulk of the content (that is, and alternate page). B) Other Enhancements Currently the link [login to view URL] opens up a child frame of the agent’s page in homesdatabase.com. This needs to change so on the [login to view URL] page there is room for text. The text will be something along the lines of … “You have two options to search for your home. The first is to search all of the current listings (with a link to [login to view URL]). The second is to have use our exclusive Personal Homes Finder service and use a live agent to search for your home using all of their available info. Many times agents know about houses before they are listed, …..Click here to tell an agent what you are looking for (this will have a link to a form. Which I’ll supply to you once we get going) A site map page should be written, that looks the same as the other pages, but is updated automatically as we update the pages. A 404 page should be written, that resembles the site-map. C) Miscellaneous Site should first be loaded onto a test directory (provided by developer) for User Acceptance Testing (UAT). UAT period will not exceed one week from delivery date. Once user has accepted the web site, we will coordinate the loading of the site to our hosting company.
