FWIW, back in the days when ASP was the best, I had a shocking experience on a different forum when I dared to suggest different. A thoroughly rotton little fellow was trolled in by a so-called VFP MVP and the two of them mocked and scoffed as I tried over and over to explain why "in-line parsing" is so much more than just eval() and how it makes web development a breeze with VFP. Later on I saw the same person screaming at MS because in his opinion, dotNET was not a positive thing for him.

The lesson for me was that despite apparently severe conflict here, VFP-ers in UT generally behave much more as gentlewomen and gentlemen than some other forums where flaming and personal abuse seem normal. Sometimes I think one can tell who is "moving into the other camp" by their behaviour here. < g >

IIWY I'd take a quick look at the on-line demos on the www.west-wind.com website and check out how little code is needed to make that stuff happen. I'm sure you'll agree re the need for frameworks when you see how easy west-wind makes it.
