Jukka,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yes, I know "here" is a stupid
name for a link but it was just a quick example of the html code I was
using since the name of the form is irrelavent to the htlml code.
I'm curious as to why jpg should not be used for a scanned form. What
would be more efficient (a gif file?)
The form in question was one that was to be filled out at a meeting.
Providing a scanned copy for members to print out and send in is just a
convienience. Unfortunately, the person collecting these forms is not
comfortable with dealing with html forms (even if we had the extra
funds to access to the server needed to pull it off.
Yes, I could take the time to re-invent the entire form so that I could
have a Word file to post but I'm doing this as a favor so I'm
interested in the easiest and least time consuming way to accomplish
the task of making this form available to print.
Thanks anyway for your effort to help.
