Hello, I am looking for a "form" . A resume form actually,
where the user can input information such as : education,
Work experience, special skills, etc. Then a simple submit button which will
send the data to a file, or email, and hopefully the finished output will
be
in the form of a resume style. Please can someone show me how to do this
or perhaps create one for me, or show me where I can download this input
form.
I tried making one with frontpage, but cannot do it. Thankyou, susu
 
This is going to need some server side scripting.

Unfortunately, you will need to create your own, or hire someone to do it
for you.
Unless you can find a "canned" server side script.

I do not understand what you mean, but thankyou for your kind help
couldn't someone create this one page form for me. I would actually
like to purchase one if possible. Just a one page form as described in
my earlier post, with a submit button that would send the output to a
resume style like template that could then be printed out. thanks susu
 
It's *not* going to be just a one page form. It's going to involve creating
a database and extensive programming. You need to search the internet for
someone who is a programmer that can do that for you.

As long as you are willing to pay for the coding/application needed, I am sure you can find a
developer to do it for. You will need determine what database and server-side scripting language is
supported by your web host.

Same answer as before....

You will need to break the functionality you want into smaller tasks, either
as a list - similar to what you have done here - or go to the site you
mentioned and walk through it step-by-step, making notes as you go. Then
work out the details of each task, taking into account how each part
interacts with another.

As far as actually implementing it, you will need to learn to program. It is
not possible for someone even to begin giving you the how-to in a newsgroup.

As far as buying something goes, try Googling for resume generation scripts.

Take heart Susutea,

What you are asking for is very reasonable and is not hard to do. However,
like so many other projects, there are several methods to accomplish this and
those methods range from the ridiculously complicated to the simply
accomplished. Let's keep this simple.

Creating the form is very easy to do in FrontPage. That's not the problem.
Receiving the data is very easy to do in FrontPage. That's not the problem.
I understand your problem to be - manipulating the received data to produce
the finished product - the resume format.

Question - Do you want the user to be able to download/print the finished
resume or will you be creating it, on your computer, for your
customers/clients? Also, if the user will be able to receive the product, is
it free to them or will you need to charge? Get back to me with these
answers as we will may need some extra items added to your form (e-commerce,
password security, etc.).

In any event, here's two solutions depending on your needs.

1. If you are creating the product for others, the ideal way to do this
would be creating a web-based app in FrontPage and then manipulating the data
in an Access database program.

2. If they are creating the product via your website, then all you need to
do, after creating the form, is re-design your "results" page. This is the
page that manipulates the data, according to your programming/design
specifications. Designing a results page does not require advance
programming knowledge. You create the document in FrontPage or Word and then
simply insert your field names into the finished document (results page) -
just as you would in a mail-merge project.

If you still need help with this, I'll be glad to help you at no charge for
questions or guidance. Or, I can do it for you very inexpensively. I only
charge $6.25 per 15 minutes of design time ($25hr).

A project like this would typically take anywhere from 2 - 10 hours,
depending on how much of the design you already have spec-ed out and how much
of the work I am doing. Worse case scenario would be a $250 charge for me
doing ALL the work. If you are doing most of the work and just need a little
help, you'd be looking at a $0 - $50 expense.

asked you and then you may also contact me at:
