BTW thanks to Lau for the background. I nicked it from his site in the mid 90s (8-)# Does anyone know the name of the French made floppy disk interface? Tony Datel? Well done for your work on the questionnaire form, Tony. I stayed out of this, as I've had to do a similar large info gathering thing for my employer's website, from scratch. I was lucky, I was able to use a ready to use perl script from the ISP, although there are several almost ready to use ones out there such as the interestingly named tfmail. See www.cartersremovals.co.uk for how I set up the rather large form. For me, the problem was more how to present the data in a readable format to arrive by email. My boss actually wanted to automate the estimating process so that a computer sent the estimate back (validated by a human first!) but that idea was hastilly withdrawn when I managed to show that a £250 estimate was turned into a £25,000 estimate by careful wording to 'trick' the validation process. I was quite glad of that... Maybe somebody will 'break' your work to show there are millions of QLers responding to the Quanta questionnaire ;-) Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

[ql-users] Quanta web form
There are a few minor issues concerning error reporting of linked items. However I can see nothing wrong in the POST data on a completed form, so I will code the email sending tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow morning I will get some feedback before I finish the code later today. Do try and break http://firshman.co.uk/scripts/qq.cgi It is already 40k, and some 1200 lines!

The underlying code I mean. Tony Well here it is :-) Didn't break although I overloaded it :-) It even dealt correctly with Greek characters... A couple of comments... 1. The layout is confusing... better choose a more suitable font for it (Verdana 9 comes to mind ) - Sans Serif is better for easier reading of dense questionnaires. 2. It dealt with a faulty email address at variable email but did not check validity (rudimentary at least) on variable oldemail 3. A little more validity checking to avoid messed up results is needed (ie when you ask for if you have A mouse you can select everything. If you want to check every type of mouse a user could have you should ask... do you use MICE? 4. There's a syntax error in software_devlist's question... it should be interest in doing software development instead of interested doing in software development (I'll do you in is a very Pennsylvanian American English expression :-) -Results Congratulations.
