	WideLines.com was an on line commercial insurance marketplace, through which an applicant could submit a questionnaire to many insurance companies with one form. The applicant would then receive competitive pricing for that coverage from various insurance carriers. This is a re-creation of the site, minus the server. There is an example of a client side database within the "My WideLines" area. I have included only one workable form that can be called. It is the "Accountant's Professional Liability Questionnaire". This form is an example of how an initial questionnaire, can call required supplements, and have all the data submitted together. This was required for some lines of coverage and requested by the insurance companies. All the forms on the WideLines marketplace were made to order and hand coded. There is an example of using Javascript to write pages on the fly within the "Industry News" area. I served as the Webmaster of WideLines.
	XL Capital leased WideLines XML technology to incorporate into their Web site. They wanted customized forms which would be no longer than 10 questions, which if answered within their guidelines, would allow online binding and issuance of an insurance policy. This form requests additional information automatically when needed. They also requested that all numbers be formatted, allow negatives, and be color coded. Javascript is used abundantly in this form. This form was hand coded.
	Chubb wished to lease WideLines XML technology and incorporate it into their existing Web site. They wanted to run customized forms which would test the applicant's response, as well as, request additional information automatically as needed. They wanted the initial form to be as small as possible. This is an example of DHTML. This form was hand coded.
	Traveler's demo was created to demonstrate how Acord Insurance Forms (the insurance industry standard), could be transformed into HTML documents, submitted to a database (either their own or WideLines') via XML technology, and an insurance policy could be bound and issued, all on line. Current industry practice is to perform this via PDF format which requires human participation. This is an example of complex nested tables which were hand coded. This work was still in progress. There were on going discussions regarding how wide the documents should be allowed to be without changing the standard Acord format.
