HTML to export/import to backend database

[nparekh]

Hi all,

I am trying to create a webpage which allows the user to enter a product and then display about 50 questions which the user has to answer in relation to the product. The questions will be preset, the answers will be based on the users response and the product.

For example: Product is Running Shoes and one of the questions will be "Can this product be divided and be focussed on a particular niche?" - answer would be something like "yes - running shoes for teenage boys"

I want to know if I can use HTML to interface with a CSV file to import the questions and then export the questions and answers back to the CSV file? Or can it be exported to a PDF file from HTML?

Can I get by without using MySql and PHP or is it inevitable?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

you could use a nice product called H2O - do a search for it - probably free for what you want it for. It's by Aestiva.

Hi Mr Bo Jangles,

Thanks for that. I have just downloaded and will play around with it over next few days.

I can't seem to find many users of H2O. It seems fairly new - can it be integrated with javascript, php, cgi scripts etc seamlessly? Do users on the web have to have any special permissions to access websites developed with H20?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

H2O is an incarnation of HTML/OS - which has been around for a while.
You can integrate javascript.
Re permissions, you can set up login arrangements, or just have any web user go right in.

Search the web for HTML/OS - there is a Yahoo group you can join.
