When I was in high-school years a go, they didn't teach me how to solve individual algebra problems -- they taught me *algebra*. Sure, there was examples, but they taught me how solve my own problems, not one specific problem. I could write a tutorial on validating a form... it might validate that a name has been entered, and that the email address *looks* like a valid address, and i might make sure they selected something from a pull down menue, whatever, but it's only teaching them how to validate *that* form. If I start further back, and teach them HOW TO VALIDATE ANY FORM, i can give them the tools to use for ever... they will still have to be creative, get deepo into regular expressions etc etc, but i believe a general tutorial on the topic is better than an example. yes, examples have helped me out 100's of times, but I'd love to learn rather than copy :) blah blah blah justin
