Can you send your code, I'll have a look.

Yep, I will but I am waiting to have the last version of IT in PEAR... And
it looks like this is taking more time than I thought it would ;)
My strategy will be to make a bridge object that will call different methods
in different containers. Some kind of object delegation could be needed
here.
I plan a container for IT followed by one for Smarty, I'll probably need
help for this one. I might also create a Matrix container that will put form
elements into a matrix layout (some kind of table probably).
It would be cool if QuickForm could switch from one container to another in
the same form.
In terms of timing, I won't be able to code it this week as I have a job to
finish. I'll probably start next weekend. I hope it will rain ;)
