You'd also have to manually create the elements and such... If you want radio buttons for links, I just put addedn an option to switch links to radio buttons. http://opensource.21st.de/tiki-index.php?page=Formbuilder+configuration+options#id330542 If you need it for something else (enums), then you'll have to program it yourself for now. Or add it to FormBuilder and we'll add it in. If you just want to hard-code it, just add an array of elements to preDefElements for the lement you want to replace. A side effect of my new addition is that it will create a group for an array of elements in preDefElements. -- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder - The database at your fingertips http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
