I love suggestions and appreciation is what us free open-sourcers survive on.

I haven't put in any limit on the number of lines and a quick test worked for over a hundred or so lines. As for where it will be hosted. For development it will stay where it is, but when it reaches a reasonably usable point, the goal is for anyone to be able to download the files and run it from any computer or website they wish.
For those that care, it will be released under the Creative Commons Attribution, Non-Commercial, Share-Alike license. Basically, don't make money off it and give credit to me for making it.

I love anything that simplifies record keeping, cause I'm lucky if my players write down a single word through-out an entire campaign.

Good spotting that and fixed. Stunts and Powers can now have positive and negative values.

Thanx to everyone. I'm taking the weekend off for family obligations, but will post an update Monday or Tuesday. :)
SavageMage:
This look really good :D
I tested this on my iPad and would like to make some observations for additional functionality on that platform.
1. The skills are selected by clickable arrows which are a little difficult to manipulate unless you zoom way in. Would it be easier to instead use dropdown fields like you used in the Stress field?
2. is it possible to have the Stress field automatically calculate your stress based upon powers and skills? (This might bump heads with the OGL, so more of a question than a request)
On the whole though, this is an outstanding effort! Thank you for the hard work!
(you wouldn't happen to know how to program an iPad/iPhone app would you?) ;) ;D

Yea, the current widget is called a spin control and I was just a little excited to find it on the web so I put it in there without proper consideration. Since it isn't really needed, for the next version I already have it replaced with drop-down boxes, like in the stress section.

It is possible, and I plan to implement this, but I haven't decided for sure, so we'll have to see how things go.

Without getting into the Mac topic, I will just say, no, I don't support, or program for, any Apple product for pure ethical reasons.
I wish to support mobile devices from the browser side of things as much as I can though, so I thank you for your input about viewing the page on a mini touch screen and appreciate the support in general. :)
----------------------------------------------------------
I'm back to work on the next, much improved, version and hope to have it posted this week some time. :)
Jeckel:
I have uploaded a new, much improved, version of the Worksheet. The layout has been updated to allow sections to be hidden and shown, reducing the scrolling needed to navigate the page. Output can now be generated for TXT, BBCode, and HTML. See the Opening Post of this thread for details and links.
I still need to add the Stress and Consequences Sections to the page, and I need to implement XML output and input from that XML output. The colors used on the Worksheet page are not final and will be updated in the next version. After this is done, I will address the issue of adding Template specific Sections like Specializations, Rote Spells, etc.
Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still working on this and have made much progress over the past week.
Saedar:
Outstanding work!
It looks like everything is working pretty well. Even cosmetically it looks good. Would there be any way that you could set it up to export as a downloadable pdf? I like working with pdf's because they are easy to copy, transport and such.
