>>I did two projects using .net and VFP that worked out well. Recently, I was tasked to do another, but customer said .net was not approved for their network. So I switched to Web Connection for an all VFP solution. Now I'm doing my HTML in Notepad and rest is all VFP code. I like it better this way.

In your samples provided with Web Connection is a DHTML example that allows a developer to create "windows-like" forms inside IE.
The example are amazing....
One can make an interface very similar to a desktop interface.

Why wouldn't you lean on this method rather than HTML/Templates?
Is there some kind of downfall in that these DHTML pages are as you term 'rendered' to the screen?
Is there a 'negative' of doing pages as in your DHTML sample that I am missing ?
