[adakist]

In your work, you may need to write Web pages that talk to servers whose interfaces you have no control over. Two common kinds of servers are relational databases, which may require their input in SQL, and search engines like Alta Vista or Yahoo!. These interfaces may not meet the needs of your users, or they may be too complicated for your target audience.

Using JavaScript and the principle of form modification, you can create simple, easy-to-use interfaces that meet your user's needs while satisfying the requirements of the server.
