Infopath for the Web?

Does anybody have a recommendation for a tool like InfoPath, but for the web?  ASP.NET, ASP.OLD, PHP, Perl, whatever.  We get a lot of questions like this: "We need to create a survey on our website that would put data into our blah blah blah database.  What class should I take?"  And the answer is never easy.  We are talking like power users of Excel or Frontpage.  But even still, in my head I know I could knock that out in probably three hours in ASP.NET.  But it would take someone at least 6 months of hard work to get to even a beginning understanding of ASP.NET, ADO.NET and C#/VB.NET. 

Some company is going to make a killer app that does this, be rolling in the cash and have a lot of contractors really pissed off.

aren't we all? [wry grin] this seems to be one of those things that every group wants and every web developer of any kind (including me) ends up writing over and over and over and over ...
