Triggering - making it user friendly
I tried to think of a way of triggering the Expiry Checker that would be relatively "user friendly" - in other words it should be obvious to users where they have to insert their email address, the expiry date and reminder message. I tried a hidden form that would get submitted by a <body onload=xxx > action, but then I realised that I could make the <script src=xxx ><\script> snippet which I had discovered earlier more readable simply by spreading it out over several lines like this:
<script src="http://www.sbu.ac.uk/php-cgiwrap/~bushm/expirychecker.php3
?
url=http://www.etc.etc.
&
expiry=dd/mm/yy
&
owner=email@ddress
&
message=Free text up to 100 chars - no quotation marks please!
">
</script>

I'm very happy with this because I think it's pretty user friendly, and it's very simple.
