I have spent about 7 hours so far on this form (a work project), and we need to make 14 of these. I have no clue of a easier way to do this.
I attached my WIP so far... https://develop.azbnet.com/XIII/acord.pl
any ideas on how to speed up the process in some form? (ps using perl and JS, and HTML)
opps.. my perl script didnt work at first. now it does though.
I forgot to say that I am using a raw HTML page and im gonna fill it manually. So I am looking for something to make the HTML page so I dont have to take all day on it.
also, i forgot to say.. the page is static, and it wont be edited. So nothing has to move around or anything like that.
It all depends on how different the forms are. I can't think of anything other than copying the first one and making the necessary changes for the other ones.
It also looks like you're using Frontpage or some dreamweaver type of thing. (I only say that because of the div layers and all the positioning). To me, that is bloating your files and making it a lot more complicated.
Are you using CSS? It doesn't look like it. That could speed things up a little.
hmm thats an interesting idea..
or maybe someone knows of an online application like this that someone has made in the past?
maybe I could go off of that idea
maybe reciept is a better word?
I'd say the best way is to do it manually, through markup written by you, not WYSIWYG, just make a lille pseudo for every form, get a good editor with syntax highlighting and you should be able to do it using no more than an hour(maybe a half) on every form(Just organize the way you work ...)
My boss found the perfect way to do it. Its very interesting and came out beautiful.
OpenOffice speadsheets Export to -> HTML
and you can merge tables, make highlighted backrounds, and different fonts. About 1 hour per form.
OpenOffice is a free software btw.

mono.org is a weird site
go-mono is a VERY cool concept. How far is it along?
Ah! I JUST figured out how to make a chart with the numbers in spreedsheet, and then add that (with the spread sheet) to a HTML file.
VERY cool tool
