Email form for OS X
-
Hi, I need some help finding an application for Mac OSX - have you seen something like this: I need an app that I can use to collect email address, name, and phone number. I plan to use this application interactively - meaning, that people come to the computer to type their details. I plan to use the information, partly, to hold a draw. Perhaps the form should include a ticket number or whatever. It should be straight-forward for a user - just 3-4 fields and a button to submit the info. I won't have connectivity so it needs to be local. Any suggestions? Remember that I need to be able to run this on OS X. I looked around, and I don't have time to write this myself unfortunately. Would be a great learning exercise - maybe next time. Thanks -Erik

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Won't that allow anyone to see all the other entries in the book as well?
The latest nation. Procrastination.
Probably - but it's the closest thing I could think of :-)

[Edit: Sorry, I only just saw the bit about no-connectivity . You can't use this then - although I don't know if Google's "offline docs" feature will allow you to do this without a live connection.] Have you seen Google forms[^]. It's part of the Google docs suite of online apps and allows you to create a form with some questions and various types of data entry boxes. Form submissions are collated into a Google docs spreadsheet for you to analyse later. Free and web based, so should work on any os/platform. Check it out at docs.google.com[^].

Good idea - I'll keep it in mind for some other time. Thanks!

Kiosk mode - that's exactly what I need! I planned to use it on Friday, so I need it anytime before then. If it mostly works now (name, email, phone) that's good enough. The extra field for the draw is a bonus (I'm using physical tickets for now - I just wanted some way to map a ticket to a person. It's not a biggie since I can just ask the winner's name).

Yeah - nice idea; it could come in handy for other scenarios.
