Re: HTML Form to Word.doc... can it be done local?

How about it you email it and have your CF server process all the forms from
the email box.? JavaScript can't write files. I don't know didly about CF
but if PHP can fetch pop mail I figure it's a safe assumption that CF can.

Subject: HTML Form to Word.doc... can it be done local?


| Hello list people,
|
| I have an idea I would like to try out. I have an online form used to
| evaluate a potential clients needs and gather company information. I
| would like to send our sales team to the field armed with this form on
| their Lap-Tops. They would gather the information and when finished and
| submitted this form, instead of being processed to email, would save
| locally, preferably as a Word doc. I can do it with ColdFusion, however
| with the install of CF server on every machine, that would be a bit
| overboard for this tiny addition.
|
| This is part of an overall crazy sales system, which really works mind
| you, that I have developed for our sales team. I have managed to take
| over the existing Explorer.exe shell on their lap-tops, replacing it
| with web objects, flash Javascript and HTML that fits into our entire
| web theme all the while giving the user access to everything
| Explorer.exe normally would. It's kind of like LightStep for those of
| you who know what I'm talking about. This in turn creates a "Web based -
| online" feeling without having to be online at any time. Everything
| works great however this would be really cool to add, in place of the
| simple word.doc we have now that can be edited in IE and then saved.
|
| Any clues on how to accomplish this locally with only Javascript HTML or
| the like?
|
| Thanks,
