Thread: Application Form

Although I didn't fill out the form, it looks fine in AT&T Yahoo! browser ver. 5.04.02.409.

This is what it looks like using firefox. 1200 x 600 resolution. Not sure if that's the way you had it set up, but it looks outta whack to me.

Do you receive an e-mail alerting you that someone has applied? Is the info sent to you or does it go to a database? I'm currently trying to put something together for my site (that's taking forever to build). Would you mind if I took a look at your code? I'm also learning php and could use a little bit of help.

Yeah, it comes in the form of an email, but it also saves in an online database. The email is really plain and it takes a lot of cutting and pasting to put into a useable form, for example:

Firstname: Curt

Lastname: Kempton

Address: 951 W. Fruit Tree Ln

City: Queen Creek

Zip: 85243

Phone: (480) 246-2920

Email: curt@5starwindowcare.com

Citizen: yes

Felony: no

(you get the idea)

but if you save all of those emails in a certain folder it serves as a killer rolodex.

Sure, get me your email and I'll send you a few txt files.

Just tried it in Safari (on a pc of course), internet explorer, and opera, and it all looks the same as the pic I posted.

It's functioning perfectly... but I agree the aesthetic could use help. I actually did it that way to keep the page shorter, but since it's just an application for employee prospects, I'm thinking I'll be okay with sacrificing the aesthetics as long as everything is there and stays on the screen. Do you think sacraficing the look makes it too confusing to where I might ultimately pay a price with people properly filling it out or possibly just giving up all together when they see the "messy" page?

nice job curt, looks okay but extremely practical. that would be my priority

Yeah practicality is the number 1 priority. But it wouldn't be too difficult to change the look either. I can play around with it if you want when I get home from work today. Just line a few things up and what not. Just let me know.
