Hello, I am afraid to ask some questions. They seem a little bit long. please forgive me.thanks in advanced first.
I am working an application which is help user to create questions for exams. I have finish this part but I think i should modify it. I use mysql as the backend and java servlet to generate html pages and tocat as the server. In the "creating question page" I set the following input forms. one text areas for question body; Four text boxes for the multiple choice of this question. (the multiple choices are plots which drawn by microsoft excel). So what the user should do is to type the question body in html format in the textarea and url addresses of those plots(excel plotXX.xls) into input four boxes then the system will load this question into QUESTIONTable into mysql database. The QUESTIONTABLE has the following fields. qnumber,questionbody,choiceA,choiceB,choiceC,choiceD. So these are my questions: 1. in order to let the server know where these plots are, the user should load these plots first into server from their own computer and then put the url into QUESTIONTABLE in database. Could anyone tell me where i can find some intruction to do upload file to server and also make a browser explorer to let user to browse through the relating directories in server? 2. Are their some free software(image covertion) i can download and integrate into my application. so i can convert the plots from xls(excel)format to jpg format automatically when system wants to fetech the plots. 3. my application is deal with mathematical questions. so there are many mathematical symbols. the html has some limitation to deal with that. what i did is to make those symbols into image(gif or jpg) and add them into html. but it is painful. Is is possible to covert tex file into html? tex file is good at mathematical stuff. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your ad for FREE! http://personals.yahoo.ca --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
