openEval: Form to calculate summary of multiple plots
0%
Description
We need a form that shows a summary of multiple plots. Two uses will be when a
user gathers a "shopping cart" of plots and wants to see a summary of them (or
simply a summary of a query result). Also, we then need to be able to query
these plots with a URL. Given that URL's technically have a length restriction
(is this not so, Gabe?), though it is long, will this be possible for say, 15
plots? How about 150? 1500? You get the picture. Eventually, we will probably
need to add a table to VegBank that will store groups of plotAccessionNumbers
with a name so that the URL would be

As far as design of such a form, I (Michael) have some ideas from working with
