Hi Mohamed: These are great questions/comments from Andy.
If you're building your HTML form by copying a paper document it might be helpful to send a scanned copy of the paper form to this list and explain who is filling it out and when they are filling it out. That would provide more context for concept selection. There might even be a similar existing form that you could adapt to your needs. regards, Glen On 2012-01-19, at 8:57 AM, Andrew Kanter wrote: > Mohamed, > > It is not clear what these concepts are.
