It would take very little to take your shipping report and make it into a web page. Get that part working then learn about anchor tags to create a link to the PDF documents. What will happen is when the customers call and ask about their order, sooner or later, they will start asking to be able to look at it themselves from the web.

Something just dawned on me. We have ESEND (a package to email spool files, among other things) which can convert spool files into html or pdf. I can take the report and 'html-ize' (is that a word?) it and look at what's added.


I will agree with others: view the source of pages you run into and find yourself asking "How'd they do that?". Download some simple Javascript and dissect it.

I have done this some, however I have sometimes picked some very complex pages. Not a good way to start. <g>


Also, try not to be overwhelmed with all the choices. By the time you get past the HTML, CSS, Javascript and start into the next level you can decide at that time on the appropriate path and languages for you.

That's the logical incrementalism I was mentioning in another post. Walk before run.


Thanks.
