FORMSGENERATOR's purpose in life it create HTML+ FORMS. It is distributed as an uncompiled AppleScript script. By running it you will be prompted to answer many questions about the FORM you want to create. For example, it will ask you for the number of items you will be creating in your FORM and what types of items they are. Since you can't go back, it is a good idea to have your FORM well thought out ahead of time. After answering the questions exactly, FORMSGENERATOR will prompt you for a file name and location. Finally, the script will save your FORM. It will now be up to you to incorporate the FORM into a large HTML document and/or tweak the FORM's content to suit your needs. FORMSGENERATOR is nice little utility, but any mistakes during the question and answer process are difficult to correct without starting all over.
