Once you have the backend written, you can then start writing the frontend. Regardless of what language you use on the backend, the frontend was written in cross-browser compliant JavaScript.
We recommend building your HTML form/interface before starting to implement the CPAINT frontend. We recommend all elements that need to interact with CPAINT, including those that need to change, use a unique id attribute, as you will need a reference to them. (Using the name attribute value doesn't always work in every browser, defeating the purpose of using this library - which is to be Cross-Platform compatible.)
If you want to add or change content using data received from the backend, you should "make room" for them using <div> tags and give each <div> element a unique id attribute.
