There are *so* many different hooks and ways to customise FormBuilder forms, that I honestly don't know how to approach it without creating a mess of unmanageable spaghetti code. I'd like to pick one method and stick with it throughout my applications. So that when someone (like me, a few years later) looks at the code, and wonders where the hell such-and-so behaviour or bug is coming from, I know where to look. If I haphazardly mix and match these approaches, I'm going to have a disaster on my hands. Is there a "best practices" recommendation as to where and when to use each of these techniques? Pros and cons of each? Any gotchas with any particular approach, that I should be aware of? - -ken - -- - --------------- The world's most affordable web hosting. http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBklwze8HF+6xeOIcRAntzAJ0dY4+aEer/pWB9t1X7tq1nGWHyqwCeI+5v Mg72HWXZ19uZH6hTT92Kl1o= =Pe0P -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
