Form Help - Macromedia Dreamweaver

You need to explain this a little better. Your explanation so far says you want a form with fields like a check list that you want users to fill out then clear? That doesn't make any sense so far.

I will try to explain it more. I want users to go to my webpage and be able to
create a check list for themselves. So they would go to my site and input a
title for their checklist and then enter all of the things that need to be
completed. They then would press a button that would generate a list that they
can check off all of the items they provided. Then when they are done, they can
press another button that clears the list so they can create another check
list. I am not sure how I would create this and that is why I need some help. I
hope that is easier to understand.

>>I hope that is easier to understand.

Afraid Not!

>>press a button that would generate a list that they can check off all of
>>the items they provided

User creates a list and then presses a button to create the list they just
created? HUH?

Doesn't seem like you have really thought this out. Maybe you could give an
example and explain how this is supposed to benefit the user more than them
just writing their list on a piece of paper.

I understand what you are asking for and I am going to tell you if you are
asking the question, then you probably do not have a strong enough programming
background to create this type of web application. If you cannot hire someone
to do this for you I would not recommend proceeding any further because you
will need an advanced level of understanding to do this and while people are
nice here, they are not going to help you build a web application if you do not
have the starting blocks to move forward with.

Well is there anywhere I can go to find out more info? I can make it work if I
really try and have instructions. If anybody could help, please do. I will only
ask questions if I run into certain problems.

Submit the form to a processing script that simply echoes the values in the
posted data to the screen, along with a checkbox graphic. Tell the user to
print the page.

It's pretty simple provided you can jigger the processing script. What
scripting languages do you know?

Sure, here are the 5 easy steps

1) Learn a server side scripting language
2) Learn database design concepts
3) Learn SQL
4) Create a database to store the data
5) Create the dynamic pages that allows the user to insert and update data

Note that you may be able to accomplish some of this using DW's server
behaviors. Press F1 and read about them. Do you already know a scripting
language?

And once you (OP) have grokked the above, I think the google search
terms you're looking for might be "To do list" plus whichever scripting
language you know. ie: php to do list
