Question

Signatures in ColdFusion

I am working on an application where my client needs a signature from their client. Right now they fill out a excel form, print it and then have the client sign the printed paper.

What I would like to do is have this all done with a ColdFusion web application. My client fills out all the information and then either submit it to go to a database and then gather a signature or gather a signature prior to hitting submit and putting in database. So my question is, has anyone ever done anything like this or know of how I can get this to work? I need an electronic pad hooked to the laptop so that they can gather the signature without having to print out the form data. Do you know of a electronic company that makes one that will work with the web and Coldfusion? I have looked at http://www.topazsystems.com/products/siglite.asp, but not sure if it will work for what I need. Any ideas on this?

Thanks
Christian

I presume from ColdFusion's|the web's point of view the signature is an
image, and will be treated like any other image.

The tool that captures that signature and creates an image is entirely
another matter.

Yes, as far as I understand it, it would be an image and would be fine as an image. I think anywhow. If I can get the image, I can upload it via ColdFusion to a directory on the server.

The tool is one issue, not sure if the siglite will work. Getting ideas for the tool

The software is another issue. Do I need any other software? Can I do it with a tool and ColdFusion. Do I need a tool, some sort of software and ColdFusion? This is the part I have no idea on.
