This was an _HTML/JavaScript development for Netscape Navigator Gold with Informix DBs_.
**IMPORTANT**:
> **THIS CODE WAS CREATED IN 1996-1997 IT IS HERE ONLY AS A TESTIMONY.**
[JavaScript](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript) first appeared December 4, 1995.
In these days it is hard to imagine a time where [JavaScript](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript) had no [Framework](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_framework) at all, [JQuery](https://jquery.com) came up in August 2006, [Mootools](https://mootools.net) was launch in March 2007.
[Netscape Navigator Gold](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator) was launched in October 1994 before [Internet Explorer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer) in August 1995.
A hard time controlling strings, numbers, etc.[Informix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informix) did something interesting by allowing applications to include code to be run in servers with DBs connections before to return a final web page to client browsers.
Yes it was my first [web-client/server application paradigm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_application), for a constructor company and his suppliers payment department, and yes, my own company at that time **AdmiSys S.L**, was one of those to be paid with paychecks printed by this web-application.
It was a very hard time for debugging code, for creating reports and even worse to print paychecks.
Code was for a spanish company, so no effort was put in translations.
The experience was so fun, sometimes a torture, but users had to install only the browser in their **Windows 3** computers.
Server was running a **Window NT** version, the one only supported by [Informix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informix) at that time.
