You can't check with what program this HTML will be tried to open/fill. Any of this partial task could be done, but in complex - that would be just inefficient way of misusing HTML. So, PDF forms is great for strict data exchanging between companies/offices/users, although not widespread (somehow, it failed). And if you just trolling me - I'm not buying :) P.S. Let's close this offtopic anyway. -- Regards, Alexander Yerenkow
