Hey Everybody -
I'm looking into creating a calculating form for a website. I know that i can be done in JavaScript but my boss is requiring it be done in SQL as well as probably CF. I usually use SQL/CF for only simple databases or form submissions, so this seems a bit out of reach to me.
I attached a copy of what I'm needing to accomplish. If anyone can help me at least start it or give guidelines that would really be great.
Why does you boss insist on not using Javascript.
Technically the easiest way to do this would be to build the form using HTML or similar.
As the form fields can be populated by using PHP or whatever language you prefer to access the database.
Then AJAX/Javascript would be the best way to dynamically update the form as information is entered.
There are other alternatives like using JQuery but why not stick with what you know?
