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

Well ... sorry ... thats getting very off-topic now (this is a Perl site) ...

...and honestly the way you continue posting badly formatted posts doesn't motivate me to deepen this much further...

Here some links you might wanna read, covering some basics

--> javascript gui frameworks

Maybe you should consider hiring someone who knows at least the basics of web-programming?

    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.

        Many thanks to all who have contributed to this quest.

        From this and other conversations I believe the steps are:
        1. choose a 'tool' to create the web site - one Perl based is an MVC toolkit but there a number of other options including Java;
        2. check that the chosen tool can do what I want;
        3. check that the tool is supported in the user's server;
        4. decide which browsers are to be supported.

        However perhaps step 3 is done first or at least with step 1 so that time for step 2 is not wasted.

        One interesting thing is that I do not think any contributing Monk suggested an MVC toolkit, I just wondered why. I have not looked at its capabilities yet so perhaps there is something there which is a showstopper!
