To resume my first package proposal (HTML_Progress) and to present my last one (HTML_SetupWizard) i've made SlideShow. You can have a look here : http://farell.free.fr/en/pear/pres2/

To resume :     HTML_SetupWizard  look like  HTML_OOH_Form, but with

integration of HTML_QuickForm

                       and of course with lot of features !

BTW, there are not yet source available online but i hope to upload it soon and perharps give a live demo (with restricted options). * I want to fix some minor problems like CSS presentation (with browsers different than IE) * I want to make it stable as much as possible * I'm waiting the stable release of HTML_CSS and HTML_Page (marvellous classes from Klaus Guenther). At least, i've already appreciated integration of HTML_QuickForm 3.0, HTML_Config 1.7, and lot more (see slides for details)

As the code isn't published yet, I can make any judgements based on presenations only. Well, HTML_Progress looks cool and will probably be useful in lots of situations, so +1 here. I have questions about HTML_SetupWizard although. It looks not like a PEAR package as we know them, but more like an application. This is not a problem in itself, as 'A' in 'PEAR' stands for 'Application', but I'd like to ask: is it possible to modularize the thing? Bertrand Mansion and myself were going to design and implement some sort of wizard solution based on HTML_QuickForm, as this functionality is often needed and HTML_OOHForm's solution doesn't cut it (*). I see that HTML_SetupWizard has this implemented, so would like to know, whether it is possible to extract a 'generic' wizard from it, on which 'setup wizard' can be built? (*) I spent a day trying to make the wizard example from current CVS of HTML_OOHForm run. Well, I succeeded after heavy editing of various files and much swearing, but even while that stuff runs, it suffers from bad design --- like storing the whole wizard object in the session.
