I am looking to store information about variables nad form fields in a db to conditionally build html forms -
Has anyone stored the variable name, and the form type in a database - and built the form dynamically on the fly?
I can't seem to find any references to it and am thinking because it must be a bad idea.
Basically - store
name | type | state
LastName text
LastName text
HowToContact radio checked
Then build components that write the html form- ie - if it's a radio button -
<cfoutput><input type="#type#" name="#VarName#" #state#></cfoutput>
Another purpose is - if I decide to do forms in Flash - perhaps I can have the database spit out an XML document to use to build the flash interface.
Perhaps have the DB spit out XML/ or another format to build PDF forms etc....
Too complex? Bad Idea - Any products already allowing this (NOT Hosted servies)
Thanks!
