Signature input webdev

[shocker-z]

Im programming a site to close off calls at the It company i work for so's that clients can sign a PDA and we can upload the signature to the callsheet for printing in office.

Has anyone come across an applet that will run on an ipaq or PDA that can be put on a website page and then signed on screen and then when submitted uiploads as an image?

My cureent BETA version is just an upload box but clients wont like signing and it not having what there signing for above.

I've coded all my pages in PHP interacting with MS Access database and uploading the signatures to a MySQL database.

All sugestions welcome

Regards

Yeah it's a bit far off what i need.. i've found a applet called WebPen which seems to be great as written using PHP anyway so will be easy to impliment and im sure my boss will pay out £60 for it

We have a product that does this but it isn't an applet, it's a feature of a much larger installed .NET CF application. What do you do if you don't have mobile connectivity - surely you can't then access the web page on the PDA or am I missing something?

Well we're a computer company so every client has internet, we might possibly be getting HP tablets instead of ipaqs now ive found out because were about to become a HP partner.

I've found a program that runs on an ipaq which you sign and then can save which looks smarter so might use that until we get tablet's through.

My misunderstanding, I thought you were talking about uploading signatures from outside, e.g. for delivery confirmations, etc. on customer sites where a GPRS/3G signal would be required.
