I want to create a form a our website and have the data submitted to a text file (comma delimited and held online) to collate all submitted resultsand then have the text file data to show in a simple sortable table on another page. I had a very basic script years ago - can't remember if it was done on a php or an asp page?? - but i remember teaching it in advanced HTML classes - was simple and easy to teach/learn but now cant find anything equal to its simplicity! HELP!!!Brenda
Your best bet would be to put the data in a database, then use jqGrid to display it, since almost all the code is already written for you. You can't do sorting in HTML - HTML is content, sorting is program.
thanks - I agree, but unfortunately it needs to be a script -The orignal (lost) one I did wasn't done in HTML - it was a form filled in either as an .asp or .php page which pushed the data from the form into a .txt file and then another page (php or asp) showed the data from the txt file as a simple very basic non formatted table with sortable columns (not so essential)
Assuming you know how to send the data to an HTML page and write it to a text file, see http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/ for making sortable HTML tables. No database - all HTML and Javascript (and PHP on the server).
