Let's see consult with Open Source users and suppliers, HTML v Adobe Acrobat -- lets see one will work on anything connected to the Internet, the other requires them to use proprietary software as well, okay lets go with the proprietary software because it is easier for me (the forms author)
Yes, that's pretty much what the GGLUG list said, but over abour 20 posts :) You can actually submit just the XML populated - somebody watched the wire and provided it to GLLUG, naturally a disection of the poorly designed XML followed.. My thought was that - given it's a form, why not provide a "web page" with a "form" in which to submit the result, without having to download a pdf and print it and return it. Of course all the whinging could lead them to believe that we're a bunch of pedantic back seat drivers with a sarky response to everything.. :) A. - The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
