Thank you for your reply, Manuel. It has helped. I've also managed to solve the building of drop down menus from SQL query results. Thanks again! You made me curious with your announcement, now I can hardly wait for the new version. In the mean time, is there any quick fix for the following challenges: 1) Any example for ServerSideValidation? I don't seem to be able to trigger it. 2) How can I validate the following: A drop down <select> box contains an item: other. If this is selected, the user is supposed to type into the next input field the value (of other). How can I validate that if selected 'other' then validate as not empty the next field? 3) If validation of the whole form passed, is it somehow possible to format the layout of the output which is sent back with the submitted and accepted values? Eg.: If in the example above the other field is left blank (the user selected a value from the drop down menu), s/he did not need to use the 'other' field. After validation, would it be possible that the blank other field would not even show up? Or, if other is being specified, the unselected value of the drop down list would not show up - since these are complementing each other - only one of them is needed, like a radio button. Is it possible to achieve this with the current version? 4) How can I validate that the sum of 3 numeric input fields should not be more than 50? (Possibly with server side validation, instead of JavaScript.) I know - it's a lots of questions... But I desparately would like to use the form class... Which brings me to the final question: 5) If any of the above mentioned tasks is not possible with the form class, is it possible to 'break out' and 'return' somehow? E.g.: to handle question 4 outside the framework of the form class would not be a big deal. Only if you could 'break out' and 'return' to the regular implementation... Thank you for any suggestions!
