Thank you Drew.  I did think about the HTML page.  One of the forms will
take forever to reproduce in html, so I am hoping my client can scan it
as a .gif file.  I am being paid by the hour to do this . . .   BTW, what
are 508 issues?

Thanks,
Riva
P.S.  I found out that my .pdf file does not work in Mozilla 1.5 - any
ideas why?


Can't help with the Moz question, but I can answer the 508. 508 is the
accessibility requirements. Word forms and most pdf forms and especially
pictoral forms are not 508 compliant, meaning non-visual browsers have a
hard time making sense out of the forms. In the case of a gif, the form is
totally useless to someone who has vision problems. 

If you it in html, you'll need to employ the <label> tag. Be sure the "for"
in the label tag is exactly the same as the "id" you'll have to add to the
<input> tag. And set the entire form in a <fieldset> tag -- this tells the
browser that there is a form. You won't need a submit button. Make if fluid
and it will print fine.

The other choices will cause some people not to be able to use the site.
Probably a small number and in truth most people don't care. But if you want
to use standards, this is one of those instances where they are a lot of
work for a small audience.
