Options? JavaScript Needed?

Guest

I wanted to see if plain old HTML/FrontPage 2003 would work for something
like this. I went to a website and looked at the source code and it just
appears to be HTML coding.

What I would like to do is have a web page that uses OPTIONS
feature/command. So if I select OPTION #2, then the next few boxes appear. If
I select OPTION #3, then a different set of boxes would appear. And when I
finally hit submit selected people receive an email, AND when the submit
button is hit a SPREADSHEET/GRAPH is populated.

Yes? No?

EXAMPLE
<hr color="#cecfce">
<p />
<font style="font-weight: bold;">2. Tell us about your problem (please be
as specific as possible so that we can help diagnose and resolve your problem
quickly)</font>
<br /><img src="http://eimg.net/img/x.gif" width="1" height="6"><br />
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

As you can see in the code Javascript is used.

Jens's reply was not UNfriendly. Your response was. People in glass
houses....
B. I do NOT see where JS is used in the code,
Click to expand...

Jens made an assumption that you would recognize JavaScript when you saw
it. I assume he was wrong. Sometimes what seems obvious to us in the
profession is not to everyone else.
C. This DOES NOT answer the question: can this be done WITHOUT JS? Or do you
not know? Or is it that you do NOT read well?

Again, we could all do without the anger and sarcasm. You apparently didn't
like what you interpreted as lack of friendliness on Jens' part. Why then
would you want to practice it, since you maintain that it is wrong?

The answer to your question is that it cannot be done without JavaScript,
and it cannot be done without some server-side programming as well. Custom
server-side programming.

When you view the source code of an HTML document, regardless of whether it
is a "pure" HTML document, or one generated by a server-side process, such
as ASP, you will not see anything but HTML. JavaScript is part of the HTML.
However, an HTML form must be submitted to a server-side form handler, such
as ASP. That is where the "meat" of this lies, and you can't see it. It is
protected code on the server.

As you can't recognize JavaScript in an HTML document, I would recommend
that you do one of 3 things:

1. Set your sites a bit lower, and use the built-in server components that
come with FrontPage, and work within their limitations.
2. Hire a Programmer to develop your app.
3. Become a Programmer, and develop your app.
