[thelist] click to add a line r delete this line?

[Barry Woolgar]

Hello

Sorry I'm not sure I'm understanding what it is you are asking. Sounds like
you want someone to write you a inventory management script!

As a start point you could use HTML form input arrays, where you use square
brackets to build arrays of values when the form is submitted. For example,
each row would have an input named "SKU[unique_row_id]". Then when the form
is submitted (with PHP at least) you will be able to access the values from
the $_POST array like this:

$_POST['SKU']['prod1'] // first prod SKU
$_POST['SKU']['prod2'] // second prod SKU
$_POST['SKU'][prodX'] // and so on

This way you can have a grid based form with loads of input fields and a
relatively easy way to sort them all out when processing it.

There could be some accessibility and usability issues here but hopefully
it'll point you in the right direction.

Barry

==> Either evolt, my email program, Tbird,  or my email provider is
splitting lines at about 80 char.  Sorry, price was supposed to be part of
the previous line.  This line-splitting is annoying, so daggone
presumptios!!!  So:

Prod ____ SKU ____ Color ____ Avail? ____ Price ____ Delete this line
