Hi,
I have a few databases which I have webified - for browsing only. Now I shall webify another one - for data entry also. Can you give me a few hints about how I do this and where I can find a good introduction to webifying for data entry.
Thank you very much in advance.

Just a few tips since no one else did…
Set the cursor focus on the first field using JS in the body onload event.
Pay attention to the tab order with the fields.
Use JS to enable ENTER key to submit the form.
Use CSS and styles. Include a style sheet for PRINT that hides all the interface BS and prints a nice clean form.
Otherwise, its not that big a jump from your browse only form to a data entry form with Domino. In many cases just making a Client form visible to the web is already surprisingly close.
I like to have two forms with the same name. One visible to Notes and the other to Web. Some others like to use the same form but different subforms. In most cases for me the Web form winds up different enough from the Notes form that trying to use one form for both platforms is silly.
