Well,
I have to work with filled forms, so I know what the fields are (the
titles) and I need to extract the info in the filled fields. So it
shouldn't be too big a problem to guess what the fileds are checking the
filled title.
I'm not sure how to manage the whole do***ent and build a user interface
for it. I would like to build the user interface with some kind of
script extracting info from the do***ent (template) and presentig to the
user the necessary fields to fill in.
Any idea how to manage do***ents this way. Some tutorial or code sample?
Thanks for your help
