I made this site to keep track of scouting data, and I was just wanting people to fill out the form so I can get some fake data for development purposes.

I am currently contemplating releasing the source code, but I want the project to be done before I make that decision. Thanks for helping out!

No sample data from me, but two suggestions. First, a list box for teams will only work (barely) for a regional. Past 40-ish teams I think you'll find it entirely too cumbersome and annoying. As it is now.

Second, I can't see your source code, but if this is meant to be exposed to the world at large come regional time, you should glance over your code and make sure you're not open to any SQL injections from any troublemakers that might happen across the page.

I think a much better way of entering team numbers would be to use a text field with an AJAX auto-complete function. (Think tagging pictures on Facebook.) Since you are already using AJAX for returning the team name given the number, it wouldn't be hard to add in an auto-complete feature.

Or if you really want to be cool, you can have the AJAX auto-complete work for typed team numbers OR team names. ;)

Kevin,

Yeah, I had some of my friends try out some malicious data to see what could go wrong with it. It passed fuzzing, mysql injections, html injections and javascript injections.
