Ordering a Taxi
American Taxi, which serves
suburban Chicago, has a lengthy Automated Phone
System to order a cab. As a general rule, nearly everything that
can be done by such a phone system can be done better by using html
and forms.
- Create a form to order a cab from a private residence to O'Hare or
Midway. Be sure and have the user enter all the information needed to
order the cab.
- Use Javascript to precheck some fields before the form is
submitted. For example, you might want to verify that no more than 5
people should be carried by a single taxi.
- Use Cookies (via Javascript) to remember some information for the
next time the user uses this form. For example, have the phone number
of the pick-up address be the same as when the form was previously
submitted.
