Web dude. Did you put any statements into includes, or was everything built
by the editor?
For example, the *text*:
<@IF EXPR="">....</@IF> translates very well to
<?php if( ) { ....; } ?> (PHP) or
<CFIF () >....</CFIF> (Coldfusion)
But the things built by the editor may need to be translated to "text". Some
of this you'll see if you look at the RAW XML created for the .tafs
If you use custom functions, these, of course have to be recreated.
The "logic/flow" should bascially be the same. A login "taf" can be a login
page(s) with the same forms and processing. The SQL queries can be mostly
the same.
The HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are definitely the same!!
