Only catch is, you have to build all that logic to populate your fields. Piece of cake when you have a simple form, not so easy when you have a dynamically-generated form (with a variable number of inputs) including multi-select buttons and the like. I guess the real challenge is converting a pre-existing page like the one I've described into one that can re-populate itself on an error condition. Building it that way from scratch is merely a programming task. - Ken kenzo@free-music.com
