HTMLHelp Forums _ Markup (HTML, XHTML, XML) _ multiple users edit a form

Posted by: pauloc Feb 7 2019, 05:45 AM

I have situation where I need to enroll 45 people into a program in order of their arrival.
The webpage below permits one user to click on a number and see its cell change color.
How do I permit 3 users to make changes to the form so each operator will know which numbers have been called permitting them to call the next candidate to the enrollment desk.

I do not have access to the LAN server. It can only run from a shared folder on a workstation.

Thanks
Paul

I do not have access to the LAN server. It can only run from a shared folder on a workstation.

I assume the three operators are not using the same browser (if so it would be easy using e.g. a cookie)? Otherwise it's normally not possible for a browser to write to the local file system (though I read somewhere that MSIE's activeX might let you do it). Why not host the page on an online web server instead?

Thanks for the info.
Any other ideas?
Do I need to get a .exe file created?

Thanks
Paul
