These get changed by demo users occasionally. They are part of
the configuration (validation lists). I put the blanks in and
then someone takes them out again. <s>

I'm not sure yet how I'm going to handle this. There is a
requirement for the drug name to be a URL. Spaces etc. can be
handled but parens just won't work. <g>
I removed the calls to _.string.capitalize() so now you get what
you type (as long as it's a valid URL).

There is a requirement for a PDF reader (Acrobat, xpdf, etc.)
this is where all FreePM is handled. If your browser does not
have a pdf reader defined it will default to downloading the
file.

I can't think of a simpler solution using a browser interface.
When the GUI is finished (far into the future) there might be a
simpler way.
If you only had 10 or 20 drugs to choose from I could do it with
checkboxes. But you'd complain it was too slow and difficult if I
rendered them in a table, using the hunderds of drugs that will
eventually be in the database. :-)
A soon as we get that 'mind-link' thing down so the computer
knows what you are thinking we'll be good-to-go. <VBG>

So your desire then would be to have 6 text fields for each of 8
or 10 prescriptions where you can just type all this stuff in
each time? That is easier to do than what I've done here. But
most users have asked for everything to be filled in for them. If
you want to type it in each time then I don't need to parse it.
Just stick it into a database and make it available for
printing. Kind of like a wordprocessor or spreadsheet?

It's not just a function of screen space. It is also a function
of the stateless nature of HTTP. You must capture data in one
session before you can use it to do lookups etc. Using JavaScript
can help IF you have static values that can be added to the code
on the page. Doing lookups into a database requires two steps
atleast.
