DNS (was javascript) -- WEB400

Mark you can look at somewhere like www.networksolutions.org to see if any
domain names you want are taken. That will do the WHOIS lookup for you so
you can decide what you want. When you register a domain name you then need
2 DNS (Domain Name Servers) which will host your new domain and your ISP can
probably do this for you. The DNS entries will then point the name you want
XYZ.COM at the IP address of the website. Your ISP can probably register the
domain name for you when you find out what you want and then set the DNS
entries up you need. That way it keeps it nice and clean, unless you want to
start becoming your own DNS (Primary DNS) location and ask your ISP if they
will do secondary.

A good book to get to explain DNS is DNS & Bind by Oreilly, its considered
the handbook and it will explain it all.

Thank you for all the help; it works and does what I want -
I just had not idea I was looking for a menu solution (dahh)

Now I do have another question -
Who do I ask this of:

We have a web site hosted on NT at the company that serves our internet
connection;
we have been given an IP for the router(hidden to the world-as far as we can
tell)
we have managed to get from that web site to our router with a link to the
IP address,
and thus it goes into our AS/400 for some more "personal customer" web pages
running
E-RPG; now the dilemma - on the web browser it shows the IP address of the
router,
what/whom/how do I show a "domain" name, or will I have to talk to our
internet
provider to get a domain for that IP address???

I am mostly an AS/400 person, so this "new" terminology is still a little
off for me,
but I am catching on - it is so different being a developer of web sites
instead of
a user who really doesn't need to know how things work.

Thanks again for the help and direction.

There are tons of Javascript sites out there that have different JavaScript
menuing systems.  You just have to go out and start looking.
