JotForm – online forms powered by Prototype and script.aculo.us

February 22nd, 2006

Aytekin Tank has released JotForm, a web-based tool to create form.

From the announcement:

I am very excited to announce that the first web based WYSIWYG form builder JotForm BETA is now released.

Although implementing the first real web WYSIWYG form editor was a very interesting task by itself, it is not that useful. All form building tools on the web provide data collection and access. So does JotForm. It is really easy to see results on the my forms section and you can even export them as Excel, CVS or some other delimited format. You can also receive notification emails.

JotForm is built on top of two super cool JavaScript libraries Prototype and Script.aculo.us.

An other really, really cool example of how Prototype and script.aculo.us can be put to use to provide great web user interfaces.

Great work, Aytekin!
