I am considering taking an application I've built in VFP and rewriting it using a browser, PHP and MySQL. One of the things that concerns me is screen/form layout. In another post someone mentioned iFrames, and that handles quite a bit of my problems. But I have another question.
I need to be able to place fields on the screen quickly. I figure I'd create a table to house my fields, but my question is how practical would that be?
I've attached a screen shot of a form I've built. Ignore the tabs for now, but focus on the field placement. See how each field is specifically placed throughout the form?
How difficult would it be to mimick this in a browser, and what hoops will I need to jump through with PHP? I remember needing to do something like this on my first project, but it was a REAL pain to get working.
Any ideas how to go about placing fields like this?
Thanks, as always. You guys are great helps.
