USING POSTIT!

PostIt! is commonly used by non-technical users to create surveys and questionnaires. However; displaying these forms is up to the developer. Surveys are stored as XML files, allowing developers to display the form in any way they want. That means surveys generated with PostIt could be used with PHP, Java, AJAX, Flex, or any other language capable of reading XML.

The system also ships with a ColdFusion CFC that reads survey XML. This shortcut for CF developers was created to help developers quickly create display pages. A demo is provided in the download along with documentation.

ADDITIONAL HELP/GETTING STARTED:

PostIt! was reviewed for the Best of CF9 contest. The review contains some additional instructions for getting started, available at Best of CF9 (ColdFusionJedi.com).

postit's Issues

Chrome - Can't respond to survey

In Chrome - I can't fill in any text areas or text input boxes, and the slider is a bit funky and doesn't slide - and the options when you do slide show up in the top middle of the page as 1,2 or 3 etc. away from the slider control.

In IE - the slider is not displayed.

Only radio buttons and checkboxes appear to work in both browsers on the form - through the 'demo' survey page.

Enhancement: it would also be nice for usability if clicking on the 'label' of a radio or checkbox that it checks/selects the given input instead of having to click on the radio or checkbox itself (<label html items)

Thanks!!
