Forum Moderators: not2easy
I'm trying to create a multi-page survey that runs off of a cd, without any server interaction for the form processing. My client wants to distribute this cd as a tool to users who would be able to fill out the survey, and then display the results for their own use. I was thinking that to accomplish this I could do the following:
1. Build a web site with form fields to answer the survey questions (using javascript to carry the information of each page of the survey forward, such as was done in this tutorial at:
[devx.com...]
("Create fast, smooth, multipage forms with javascript")
2. Create a cgi script to process this form data, and display the results on a nice html page
3. Bundle both the above web site and cgi script into a neat package using Microweb, which is an apache installation that you can run right off the cd.
( [indigostar.com...] )
Has anyone ever tried this? Is there an easier way to do this? Better yet, is there a commercial application that will do this for me?
The crucial part of the project is that this is a tool that can only be run off the cd, or perhaps from a folder on the users desktop. The users may want to keep the information they put in the survey confidential, so their can't be any commication back over the internet to a server. As well, many people can't install and run executable files at work, so the processing involved would have to be done on the cd...
Thanks for your comments!
