know html?

[rizz]

i have something i am doing for work. I have a webpage with a lot of input text boxes and checkboxes. Basically i need to be able to input the data and then save the page as a number say 112456.htm with all the info on it...

If you have experience in forms in html or know another way to do it then please email me. rizz@toj.cc

If you need the page posting here let me know and i will post it.

Rizz, you need more than just HTML, don't you? You'll need a dynamic web language like Perl, PHP, ASP, ColdFusion or JSP to parse your form input and then write that to a file. HTML by itself won't do that.

ah pants

What languages do you have access to your server?

 

[rizz]

its not a server. Its just a page... I just need ti fill out the info then save it under a different name with the info in tact. But the input boxes dotn save when you save the htm file.

Oh, I see what you're trying to do. You created the form, you fill it out in your browser, and then you save the HTML from within your browser, hoping that the values will be written down with it, right?

spot on... heres the page for download... I dont think its confidential.. its just boring... But you get the idea... I dont know any form code so the source might be rubbish.

sorry rizz. for HTML forms, the only way to get that data saved, is to have something on a server do the saving either via a HTTP GETor POST

If you want this document as a template that gets filled in, both MS Word and MS Excel allows you to create form-type objects in documents/workbooks which you can then use as a template to save/print.

I think that route may be an easier solution than trying to get what you're wanting.

 

[Shagz]

I concur.

If you make the form, you can also put default values in the input tags like this:

<input type="text" name="firstName" value="Andy">

Then, you'll have that field automatically filled in with whatever "value" is set to. I hope this is what you're talking about...
