Various improvements to this form might be done later, If I can
find time, & only if it does not limit compatibility with a
wide range of browsers, operating systems, different HTML
standards, & even text mode monochrome browsers. Ideas such
as:
To allows links on the form for example 'Drivers only Click
here'. you would need several forms. It is possible to have
several forms linked together. Where the input data is
carried over to a 'Final' email. This is done using hidden
fields.
I'll keep it simple. One single form does not need
continuous flat rate net connection, dancing between
forms.
CSS style sheets or style tags for setting font sizes and
colours.
Beyond what I've done already on fonts & colours,
would bring me no benefit.
Jhs: Mandatory field entry, so people can't skip
answering EG if they have ski equipment.
Jhs: This form will be slightly generalised, so it can
also be used by other ski organisers later.
Jhs: Back end processor to apply to database that
generates master sheet to print. No time yet.
Jhs: Front end inconsistency checker.
Jhs: Front end copy mail to ostensible sender - Can't be
done, as could be used as a security loophole to launch DOS
(Denial of service) flood attacks on 3rd part innocents.
Jhs: cookie /
looper so one can specify parameters to form, by taking
output of previous iteration of form
Jhs: Return not to pass through form again, to avoid
those who click n send again.
Jhs: Strip null parameters so they don't transmit &
clutter.
Jhs: Encrypter for mail - not important, no commercial
value to this form's info.
Fix what scrambles the "+" & other punctuation.
Table back end (built from form):
form.c should return data in order I need it to fill
table.
Split (the currently combined) rows for vehicle + driver,
to 2 rows, to help assess seats & ski spaces, if person
takes or leaves optional vehicles.
Somehow show seperate indicators for planned comfortable
seats & maximal contingency seats.
form collects fax number, but only goes to my phone list
for contingencies, not to the table for now.
Seat count of eg +3 needs to be automatically reduced to
eg +1 if vehicle is going half empty on Friday night.
Rack count of eg +5 needs to be reduced to eg +1 if
vehicle is going half empty on Friday night.
tidy -i -m needs to be fixed so
it doesn't keep padding textarea
could add a function for: No hotel wanted, & no car
seats offered or wanted & no deposit will b e paid, ie
just to give tel no for semi independents who might turn up
or not or en route one way to Italy etc.
Date, Destination & Organiser: could be a Radio
button list not a combi box that drops down. Combi boxed
could be reserved for "expected" values like "Number" or
"type" where the visitor knows what to expect.
Unused possible future fragment
Organiser.
Ignore This - (Later it will determine which
organiser receives your booking by email).
If you have other constructive suggestions, Mail me. Only problem
is finding the time to implement all this
