[a request to help test my survey product]

Thanks, all.  The comments in particular were most helpful.  I'll get
someone with color sense to look at it soon.  The tree-tag experiment
failed, but I think if we go to a one-stage hierarchy rather than
two-stage, things should work out OK.  Unless, of course, we find a new,
magical way to get people to choose among 340 choices.  Would you
believe in my travels I did not know you could wrap text in a
<textarea>?  Now I know.

Apparently a few individuals got ZopeErrors when cookies were not
enabled.  I suppose I should let people know first about the cookie
requirement.

On the upside, it did not crash, it apparently loaded pretty quickly,
and there were a couple of instances where multiple users were
responding at the same time, without noticeable drag on the machine.

Quick and easy statistics for the curious:

Browsers:
Internet Explorer 4      3
Internet Explorer 5     19
Netscape 4              23
Netscape 6 or Mozilla    3
Other:                   5

legibility  
a (OK)          35
b (Bad)          1
c (pretty good) 19 

I note that those that marked "c" were using IE5+.

CSS
a (go back to tables)                    28
b (everyone *should* have a css browser) 26

I'm still working on the code to get the list of what everyone wanted to
be when they grew up (it was the custom tree-tag question), so I do not
have that now.

Thanks again,
