redbullmarky Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 you'll need to be far more specific - now personally, i'd think you'd want something that lets you draw to the screen using the mouse - like a proper signature. but I don't much like guessing. please elaborate....

ma5ect Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 yes thats exactly wat am lookin for.. but cannot figure out how to do it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 there are many alternatives to signatures which is why you don't see this sort of thing very often on websites. however - if you have a specific requirement, then you're probably going to need to do some research into DHTML (to create the client-side part) and AJAX (to send the "image" back to the server to be saved as it's being drawn). It'd guess that it'd definitely require a fair bit of work - so whether it's worth it is down to whether you really specifically need something like this or whether you can find an alternative way of getting someone's authorisation?

ma5ect Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 what are the other alternatives?? digital signatures? and there's something in dreamweaver (Adobe® Integrated Runtime (AIR)) would that also work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 AFAIK, AIR (formerly Apollo), is used to create desktop applications with web languages (JavaScript/HTML/CSS). So I don't see how that's relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 what are the other alternatives?? digital signatures? and there's something in dreamweaver (Adobe® Integrated Runtime (AIR)) would that also work? no - what i'm saying is - you're asking for a signature to confirm something, right? why won't the more traditional web-based approaches work such as a 'Yes, I agree' or 'No' work? or just a simple checkbox? Why does it need to be a signature? You're topic/questions so far are incredibly vague - if you want to know more, share more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proggR Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Password? Security Question? Disclaimer refuting any responsibility for fraudulent claims made through your service? As cool as online fingerprint recognition or signitures signatures would be for authorization I don't think its something that could be implemented just yet with available technologies. Especially the signiture signature. I don't know about you but mine changes every single time I sign and is usually just scribbles. Fingerprint recognition might be more managable but would still take a lot of resourses and a lot of work to get up and running. Plus not everyone would have fingerprint scanners on their computer. I don't know. Basically I'm rambling but a password and disclaimer should be enough for authorization in most situations. *edit* damnit I knew signiture looked wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma5ect Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 ok i think i have caused a little bit of confusion.. sorry for being vague...I have a website setup where students can upload files, with uploading these files i also want them to fill out a form stating its there work (name, details etc etc) but at the bottom of the form it needs to be signed off by them..this is what am stuck with.. what could be best way to do this.. hope this clears things up...
