I am looking for a half decent application to create web forms.

I could create them by hand, but its so much effort to get them looking decent.

Things like word create ugly code

I could go the whole hog with some thing like Dreamweaver, if I wanted to shell out a lot of cash.

I just looking for something that will create a half decent web form with out to much hassle to submit user data to pearl and PHP scripts.

Any one got any nice apps to suggest.

Cheers

    Have you checked out KompoZer? Other than that I would take a look at Visual WebDeveloper 2010. It has some pretty decent tools for debugging JavaScript and intellisense for JavaScript as well. Very good support for JQuery!

    I have been searching around and actuly just down loaded KompoZer to have a play with. I am playing with PHP mailer at the moment :) but want to design some nice looking forms for entering the data. Trouble is of course I have little web design experience and almost non PHP skills :)

    If any one wants to tell me what to look at to insure web pages look the best across the widest screen size and resolutions Please do let me know.

    cheers

    I've seen some forms made to look real nice with AJAX, never did much with creating my own though, not outside of a CMS like Drupal, Joomla, or Wordpress, etc. anyway.

    I highly suggest you consider getting a Pluralsight subscription. They are focused mostly on MS technologies but you can do their free trial. They have stuff on JQuery, CSS, Java, JavaScript, Android development, etc. If you end up doing a one month basic subscription and watch the JQuery, JavaScript and CSS videos it will really change how you approach your forms and doing HTML. The CSS and the JQuery/JQuery UI videos will totally make it worth the $30 to go on after the trial.
