hi guys,

i need advice on this. if you wanted to have form(s) in your page/site. what is the best way of doin it by using flash or the native <form...> tag and let javascript do the validation?

tnx

Flash forms can also be integrated in PHP, and i think there's nothing wrong on using flash as web forms just make sure it is nice and easy to download.

Don't use Flash for forms. The standard <form> is best, but for validation and other functionality, you're going to need a database backend, such as PHP and MySQL.

yap no probs i can do php and mysql. my Q is which is advisable ill embed an .swf file to my page or ill use <form> native of html?

sounds good

Javascript validation has the advantage that users could get immediate suggestions to fix incorrect entries (just don't use annoying popup alert boxes).

However, you still have to validate the input on the server side before doing anything with it because javascript validation doesn't prevent malicious submission of unvalidated form input.

just use normal form is ok, but if you need the information been stored, u need some database tools like access, etc...
