Creating an online checklist

[pockett]

Hello, i am looking at creating a checklist with boxes that anyone can tick off.

this is for a personal wedding website to create a gift list, so people who are getting a gift can tick the gift off the list, so that other friends/reletives won't purchase the same gift.

How is the best way to implement this? i assume it should be something simple, with some sort of boolean database storage updated by when someone clicks on a check box.

is there any ready script that i can use that will allow some sort of tick-box checklist system? i'd like something that is easy to copy-paste into the site with minimum effort.

Thank you for your help.

What you are asking is pretty much for someone to code a page for you. You should post this in the marketplace, as that's were most freelancers are. (Or I could do it for some credits)

Microsoft Outlook (the last time I used it at least) contains a Task List window. You basically type in a job you need to do and you can set reminders, alarms, etc.

Yours is more specific (wedding planner) but you could look at their layout to come up with ideas and improvements.

I ended up trying Outlook's task list and later stopped using it b/c as the # of lists grew it just became a hodgepodge of tasks with no inherent ordering.

The best way to do that is to have a database with all the information of your items, and have one of the columns be the stock of the item. When a user checks off an item, an update command can be used to decrement the stock. In the select command that generates the store, you can add this: WHERE Stock > 0. When the stock becomes 0, the item is no longer displayed in the store. That is the best system I know of and the one I am using. However, as merrillmck stated, there are much less complicated ways to do this.

If you send me an email ( gorringeja4@hotmail.com ) I will code such a script for you. Please tell me things like what each tick box does, etc. If you have any sort of instant messager, that will work a lot better.

Thank you for all your responces.
yes i know its a very simple task(its just my website making skills dont go much furthur than operating a graphical interface web design package). you are right, many people have done this before, so there should be something easy off the shelf that can be used. i'll attempt the database method, and see how far i get. thank you for your offers to help, i'll send a message if i cant figure it out.
