I would like to design a FORM to be used via a browser.
People would point to the url and will get the FORM displayed. They will
fill in a number of fields and save it. All data will be saved and can
later be retrieve and presented in FORM format, if necessary.
My problem is that I don't know what to use. I noticed that Ruby on Rails
appears to have a very robust FORM design environment.
I also read about someone using Sinatra. I am sure that there are many
more. It looks like Rails is kind of too heavy for this. But I'm not sure.

That would make a great t-shirt. And I've felt like a part of that team
before In any case --

Can I get some recommendations as to what to use?
Either will work. It's really up to you whether you want to write stuff
that Rails provides out of the box.
And if you're not sure, why not just try both?

Well, the form will be used by a number of people and it will contain
private data.
The firm will not allowed this hosted on a public forum. It must be an
internal url.
Thank you

Maybe something like Google Forms or Wufoo would be easier/quicker/better
than creating your own?

Thank you Hassan, I will give Rail a try.
BTW, of course the "Hell Team" was truly meant to say "Hello Team". I
apologize if I offended anyone.
