Hello my name is Steve and I am a newbie....almos t.
I have been working at learning html, graphics and css in my spare time.
I have a site at www.ContractorInsurance.net. Yes, I am an Insurance broker and insure contractors and IT Tech companies.
Not enough sales apparently as "I" cannot afford to hire someone to take on this endeavor. lol
The problem has been finances and getting someone to understand the all the types of insurance that I write.
My biggest problem currently is the size of the form. Another problem is not under standing how to get the form to show / hide elements for the insured / prospect to answer depending on their responses.
Here are two mamoth pages of form.
The first one is for commercial auto. url www.ContractorInsurance.net/auto_commercial.php
On this Commercial auto insurance page is a section / table and I would like to use a "four driver" "four vehicle" "column"
If the "user" completing form needs to add more 'drivers' or more 'vehicles' they can use some add, remove, clear buttton use form as necessary. Currently the form is Huge!
Next is the Architects questionnaire.
www.ContractorInsurance.net/architect.php. As you can see...the page is Huge.
Some sections require additional questions depending on the response to an affirmative "yes".
It would be ideal be able to have the "form" / "table" be able to dynamically show/hide or popup the "added" questions so the answer could be provided.
Both of these pages are using the post method. The server is php capable. I do not know mysql database but the script? php coding for submitting the form is provided by Hotdreamweaver and has the function of form to databse as well as form to exel and mail.
I realize that this is a huge task I am asking for assistance on and will appreciate some guidance.
I get a better understanding if I see a working example on someones web site as I am a graphical learner and use design mode mostly with dreamweaver.
I struggle reading code but it is slowly sinking in.
Finally, I want to be able to re-create the form for use in .pdf so the user has the option of downloading or opening the .pdf version and printing or faxing it in.
I do have some familarity with Adobe lifecycle designer and could and may be should start there and then capture the code via xml and do something with it from that directon instead...thus I would not need to create the html form and then the adobe for too.
I thank you, thank you and thank you for any assistnac you can provide. I am a relatively new beginner and do not understand "large" leaps in instruction. Tiny, visual examples please and references to sites that show how the end user sees the functionality of such code / programing.
Thank you.
