why not just design it in IE, have it fill up the whole screen, use some flash elements to make it looks flashy or nice or whatever, but use regular ol' HTML forms

  Subject: SOT: desktop application

  I have a question about what the best practice would be for creating a
  desktop application.  I do websites for some different bands, and they
  all have an e-mail sign-up on their website.  Most of them also have
  some kind of a paper sign-up at concerts for people to sign up for the
  email list.  I was considering building an app that would run on a
  desktop to allow people at concerts to enter their email address and
  write it to a text or xml file that could then be uploaded to the
  webserver and parsed into the database.

  My question is what would be the best method to do this?  I was thinking
  of doing the front end in Flash but I'm not sure how to write to a file
  from there.  In theory, this app would need to work on a mac and a pc.
  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
