Questionnaire script with multiple input types

[ll]

Hi,
I'm working on a questionnaire which will include multiple input types
(check boxes, drop-downs, textarea) to submit answers. Currently, in
my design, I have 3 tables: Answer, Question, and Stream.
The same 5 questions are asked as they relate to the 8 streams of
course discipline - in other words, the 5 questions are asked 8 times
each. I had thought of using loops to accomplish this, although at
present the stumper is getting a graceful and effiicient means of
dealing with the different data types.
The first thing that came to mind was using a different table for each
different data type in the Answers. Would there be something perhaps
more simple and efficient?

Many thanks for any help,
Louis

tables work...
"more simple and efficient" is in the eye of the beholder.

How is this an ASP question ?

Because I'm using ASP with the tables. It's nice to know that you're
so helpful! ;-)

This is really more of an HTML question, follow-ups set to alt.html.

To the OP:
You might be better off using fieldset, eg:

<form method="post" action="<%=request.servervariables
("Script_name")%>">
<fieldset><legend>Answer</legend>
<input .....
</fieldset>
<fieldset><legend>Question</legend>
<input ....
</fieldset>
<fieldset><legend>Stream</legend>
<input ...
</fieldset>
</form>
