Getting forms to work on the web

[tawnmik]

I need to know if there is anyway I can get a form to transfer to the web, HTML. I have created lots of forms and a lot of work has gone in to them and now i want them as HTML. Is there anyway I can convert them???

As long as you have A2K or greater, check out the use of Data Access pages. They lose a lot in the translation to HTML, but it's workable...

I think you're pretty much OOL - HTML, even DHTML and its other flavors, is pretty dumb when it comes to formatting, colors, other things like that when compared to forms. Browser languages are designed to operated at the lowest common denominator, and don't have the fancy facilities for doing things that a form-design language on a PC would have. You might be able to get fairly close if you hand-coded things, but your pages would probably be 1) extremely non-compliant with HTML standards, and 2) visible only by IE 5+ browsers, etc.

Remember what the "T" in HTML stands for...
