My old latin teacher and I have long talked about making an app where you can select an auther, then pick a text (or book then the text you need)
unfortunately both of us are new to the art of app making and program coding.
Can anyone help us with a few points how to do this.

Hi, HTML is great at formatting text, so I should think that a MoSync HTML5 Reload project would be great for you. There are some great starting places using HTML5 and frameworks like KendoUI, JQueryMobile or JQTouch which would make the menus really easy, and the latin text in HTML format. Do you have the texts? If you look at the LoveSMS example application, then that has JQTouch built in. Do you know any HTML?
not that much sadly. :S
i miss some more noob frindly UI options :)
Aww, come on! HTML is about as newb friendly as it gets!

hmm it sounds good :) i'm currently look in to that idea.
what i what is something like this (see picture - and sorry some of the text is in Danish :D)
if i understand it right, it is the window.open command i need to use if i want to make new windows ?
the odd thing on right top side is a "drop down" box - i have an Iphone i think that sort of menu is easy to handle and to use.
Don't open new windows, it doesn't work well on mobile as navigating back is difficult. On your iPhone, go to http://www.jqtouch.com and select 'preview'. This will show you the demo of JQTouch, and you can get an idea about what is available.
