My client - who currently receives the results from the forms I have created for them as an email (Text and fairly boring), would like to see the results of the form "INSIDE" a form; In other words, they would like to see the "form filled out".

So, I tried with Adobe Professional and Adobe Designer. Couldn't make that work.

So, now I looked into JavaScript but was informed that this is a Server Side issue.
When asked to explain the problem better, I wrote:

Let's say you have a membership application form - which this is - and the end-user fills it out, normally it goes to the Membership department as an email with the data listed - one field per line.
What they want is to see the data as it looks on the form.
So, if First Name, Middle Initial and Last Name are all on one line, they want to see the results like that.
If Street, City, State and Zip are next to each other on the next line, they want to see the results like that as well and so on.
Preferably, they would want to get an attachment of the entire form, filled
out by the end-user, thus looking like it does on the web site, only now with data in the form fields.

Thanks for you help.

This is relatively easy to do. I do it all the time. All it requires is some minor modifications to your form handler (form email/processing script). Just post or move this request to the appropriate server-side forum (ASP, PHP, Perl, etc.).
