Amen. :) Some of the HTML folks I deal with aren't even designers...they're just business people that read "HTML for Dummies", which is probably adequate for what they need to maintain, but I'm not going to try to teach them PHP and hope that they don't mess up my code in the process. > Of course, execution times are pretty slow (or worse, depending on > complexity). There are things that can be done to speed things up though...cacheing files at the page level, or even cacheing templated components at the sub-page level where possible can overcome much of the overhead of using templates. - Tim
