Quotation Acceptance

So you have placed an enquiry with us for trussed rafters and/or easi-joist and we have given you a quotation, What Next.  If you are happy with the quotation you have received and no changes are required to the specification then we need you to confirm in writing that the dimensions used to produce the design are accurate and that you wish to place an order, up until now this had to be done either in person, through the post or via a fax, but not anymore you can now place an order online. 

By visiting www.eandhbaxendale.com/place-order.php you can confirm that the dimensions used to produce the design are accurate and place an order with us telling us when and where you would like your order delivering and how you will be paying for it.  Another useful feature of this new form is that it allows you to confirm to us the dimensions for stairs in floor designs, the stairs and stairwell opening are critical in a floor design, if we don’t have accurate measurements we can’t guarantee that the joists will work.

We are also working to make it even easier for you to pay for your order, we now have debit card facilities installed any order paid for using a debit card will be treated just the same as an order paid for by cash and so should mean your order will be processed and delivered quicker than if you were to pay by cheque which can take up to five days to clear.

Trussed Rafter Enquiry Form Update

It’s taken most of the day but I have finally finished updating (streamlining) the trussed rafter enquiry form, previously there were three separate forms, one for each roof shape.  Well now there is a single (SMART) form, I have utilised the spry accordion widget to break the form up into smaller sections, with each panels content being drawn from a separate include file (easier to update individual sections that way). 

 The form validation is now handled by tmt.spry.widget.AccordionForm by massimocorner.com this validates each panel as you move between them and reports any errors in a div located above the accordion.  So what makes it SMART, well panel one includes three building shapes, picking a shape updates the next panel with the matching roof shapes, which intern updates the next panel with the correct form fields to collect the necessary measurements for the building and roof shapes selected.

I am planning on updating the other forms on the website with similar features and layouts, maybe next week if I get chance, definitely won’t be Thursday though as I am going to Wolf Systems in Coventry to attend a Software Focus Group.
