Sheet request - Traveller (HTML/CSS only)

The games I run are hybrid in person/online games. I use a combination of Roll20, and in person character sheets. I like to have all my character sheets stored both on Roll20, and on my own site.

I am starting a new Traveller game, and am having a difficult time finding a Traveller sheet using only HTML/CSS. The closest I found is the one on here, but it has a ton of roll mechanics, buttons, and other things. Unfortunately I am not skilled enough to make these.

Could somebody assist me?

Is there a reason you cant use one of the existing sheets? You dont have to use the buttons.

Because the layout on my own website does not pull in properly, as it's effectively linking to nothing. Roll20 has tabs, rolls, and attribute links. I'm just looking for a simpler sheet with fillable data using only HTML/CSS

does your method of pulling in data work on any of the sheets from other systems?

I'm asking because all those tabs, rolls, etc., are just html/css, but it's all on top of the stuff roll20 uses to generate the battlemap, etc. I wouldnt have thought tabs and rolls would make it any harder to parse the data, but the roll20 interface itself might pose issues.

Right now my method is looking at the github version, and then looking at it in the www.w3schools.com "try it" section.I haven't had this issue with other sheets, as I mainly play Pathfinder. Pathfinder is much more popular, so I was able to find an HTML/CSS only sheet quite easily.

If I'm understanding you correctly, the pathfinder sheet you found wasnt on roll20?

Roll20 sheets are not meant to work as pure html/css. In fact, they can't work that way - roll20 uses a tweaked version of html (to support things like attributes and roll buttons), so what you are asking for here probably cant be done. No one on roll20 is making sheets that work as standalone html/css. The most basic sheets might work as standalone html/css, but they aren't designed for that purpose and it's not realistic to expect to find such a sheet on roll20. (Correction: all roll20 sheets lack some elements that are necessary to make a standalone sheet, so you can't use roll20 sheets anywhere else without some effort.)

I'm sad to tell you that if that's what you need, you'll have to look elsewhere. Roll20 sheets are made for the roll20 platform, and not for the general internet.

It might help if you could link to the sheet that is working for you. For data, all Roll20 sheets are pure html/css (with the differences gigs has already outlined). The sheetworkers simply make calculations that are then stored back into attributes created by the html of the sheet.

The one I use for Pathfinder I shamelessly stole from another site.

Ah, ok, yeah that's not going to work with a Roll20 sheet. Roll20 sheets store their data in attributes which are references to a firebase database. These attributes are then referenced by the html to populate the sheet style.
