Hi,
I need to set up a web-based spreadsheet/form with a bunch of
checkboxes and text fields, along with a 'Save' button that just saves
the current configuration, so that the next time the page is loaded it
displays that configuration.
For example, a visitor can check boxes 'A' 'C' and 'J', enter some
comments, and click Save, so the next visitor that comes along can see
the checked boxes and comments, and add/change them.
Is there an easy way to do this for a non-programmer like me? We use
Dreamweaver 4 on a Windows system, website is hosted on a Linux
server.
Thanks,
Ed |

esarkissian-ga,
I'm not totally clear as to the features you're looking for, but check
out Google Spreadsheets:
http://docs.google.com/
Click the "New Spreadsheet" link to open up a blank spreadsheet that
you can fill in, link to, and set-up for a group of visitors to use or
alter.
Play around with it a bit. If it doesn't meet your needs, let us know
why, and what additional features you would like to have.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'checkboxes'. What is it that
you want users to be able to do when they visit the spreadsheet?

A checkbox is a box you can click to 'check' or 'uncheck' an item
('select' or unselect'). You can find an example at the bottom of
this page: http://www.echoecho.com/htmlforms09.htm

I don't see a checkbox option, but you can improvise with something like this:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pFiCY3En-MrVWnHrp8QEqTg
which should work fine, as long as there's no particular action
associated with the checkoff itself (like opening up an email box,
etc).
Will that work for you?
