I need to collect data on bird growth rates (age, weight). Since ages vary from 0 days to about 150 days, and weights vary from about 5 grams to 2000 grams, dropdown menus are not practical.
Side-by-side text boxes are OK, e,g.:
Age Weight
0 6 #the numbers are entered by the visitor.
5 17 #ditto
12 30 #
[...] #repeat until all the data for the bird are entered
But I can't find a way to do that -- the text boxes are always stacked verticallyl, not small and side-by-sidel. Ideally, the "Age" text box would be limited to 3 characters and the "Weight" limited to 4 characters.
Is this, or something similar, practical in UCCASS, or should I give up and try to implement what I need in a full-stack framework like Turbogears, Django, or Web2py ?(I'm a Python programmer, but not a PHP programmer.)
Or, does anyone know of a good tool somewhat like UCCASS, but intended for creating general data-entry pages that hook to MySQL?
Thanks,
