Arto,

Yes it is the wwDHTMLForm class. it works well- take a look at some of the sample apps in his example page. As he says, it can work well for config forms and the like, but will not scale for large numbers of users as the form is rendered afresh every hit.

We used a variant of this. There was a feature you could use to generate the dHTML as a skeleton, with field placeholders etc. We altered that skeleton so we could use a single TEXTMERGE to populate the field values, which was *very* quick and scaled well. I can't remember whether Rick did this or whether we altered the code, but we made it so that if there were valid/click events in a formfield, javascript was automatically created to hit the server, execute the method, then return a new value or refresh the form. But more recently we began using CSS for form layout. Highly recommended.

Regards

yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
