Is this the annoying part? Why >insulting? Certainly not my intention. Well, perhaps if it is for kindergarteners, it would be fine but then you would not ask about medical history. Do you know any kid that has not played games and used a mobile (cell) phone? You are leading them thru stuff like they are idiots and making them press enter and this and that. They can text with their eyes shut during class. >>There is not any "go back and change the answers" functionality.

Agreed. >>You have drop down option lists when radio buttons are much easier for the >>respondent to use. >This is a matter or opinion and the researcher for whom this is >written thinks otherwise! As David said -- Don't let the client design the software!!! Radio buttons are fast and easy. Drop down options are slow, hard to read and select, and require many more key strokes. Have respect for the RESPONDERS!! Minimize the time and effort required. The form is like a paper shown in a window and you use ink and can't roll it back. Sickening to me. >>P.S. You are still trespassing on invalid.com. Still - and requiring more effort by others to prevent improper e-mails. K

Whilst I am puzzling on this I have a simple form in which the data is submitted at the end and of course it is easy for the user to change anything. What is not good is that say for question 13, a yes/no question in which yes should require 13a to be answered, and no moves on to 14. The user might complete both 13a and 14.. http://www.micro-active.com/a-wm2/a-q-student-table.htm Notice again the data doesn't actually go into the db in this particular example. Cheers Geoff

The problem is tha most sites use media="screen", which does not apply to handheld or projector media. The trick is to use media="all" and then override with the various other media-specific types (e.g print, aural, handheld).

They are not going to learn the lesson if you keep replying to them and helping them. I have therefore obvious address mungers automatically killfiled, and add them manually to the list as I become aware of further munging, after a hint to them. That said, this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. You might not know this, but *all* addresses must specify mailboxes, including that in the From header field (RFC 5536 allows using the invalid TLD as an alternative, but I would strongly advise against that). I have verified that your From header field does not specify a mailbox, so consider yourself soft-killfiled (I read only your followups to my postings) for the time being.
