Hello,
Excuse me for budding in but ... YEAH!
> How can MC replace an HTML Web form?
Use MetaCard's widgets instead of the poor unreliable
ones that we have to use when using HTML to create the
form and JavaScript to make it interactive. Instead of
the "submit" button, your script then POSTs the fields
of the MetaCard-based form to a CGI. No need for any
HTML or any JavaScript. Everything from within
MetaCard, and the fact that MC runs on ANY platform
achieves the same multi-platform-ness as the web-only
solution. But MetaCard's interactivity far surpasses
what can ever be achieved by even the most-creative
JavaScript scriptor. Interactive validation of the
fields, for example, is a cinch in MetaCard. Adjusting
the contents of one or more subsequent popup menus,
according to what the user fills in to the form, is
also a cinch to implement; night-and-day when compared
to HTML and JavaScript.

You certainly can.
Let's conquer the Web with MetaCard,
