Mobipocket's use of the <FORM> tag....
I have successfully used the <FORM> tag when creating .imp ebooks for the eBookwise 1150 (and REB 1200) (see FORM INPUT: Cute idea, but nevertheless useful).
I tried using this concept with .prc ebooks (see 'Dickens Reading Checklist.prc' below) and while it's created the way I would expect, the PC software viewer doesn't remember the selections. I implemented this without using any java scripts and maybe that is the reason the selections are not remembered. I don't know (I mean I don't know javascript)! The Mobipocket Javascript support website help gives insights on using the <FORM> tag using javascript, but I don't know if javascript is a pre-requisite! I downloaded the sample and its results looked more promising (see 'Mobipocket test taking sample.prc' below) Can someone with a Mobipocket-enabled hardware ebook reader try the attached .prc to see if the selections are "remembered" after closing the ebook and re-opening it. Source files included in the below .zip. Is there a better/easier way to code this .html to make this work? BTW, this is the original Fictionwise forum post on this topic: Quote:

The Kindle and the iLiad don't seem to support javascript. They both display only the HTML in your examples. The MobiPocket Forum thread: Free converters not working on my BlackBerry!? indicates the same is true of the Blackberry reader (which is also based on the Java Reader).
