in thread Converting Tk based Perl to be used on the Interent

Thank you for that.
I am struggling a bit since although I have been using Perl for over ten years and general programming for decades before that I simply have not anywhere near the Internet programming world.
I think you have said that Java can mimic the most Tk widgets so would be one thing to look at.
With Java would you be able to mimic the behaviour of altering say the contents of a pull down menu because a specific radio has been used.
What do you mean by 'meta language' and a 'DSL'?

      Thanks. I realise it is moving away from Perl but since I was starting with Perl I was hoping to find a way forward from someone who has had the same problem part as they might have understood why I was struggling.

      I am sorry you have found my foramtting troublesome. Hopefully this one will be better.

        As it turns out, I can read it after logging out...

        ... many of us have "Enforce proper nesting of HTML" activated in Display Settings. (I suspect its even default)

        But your use of </br> ruins the format, that's broken HTML.

        better simply use <p> for paragraphs or at least plain <br> for linebreaks.
