If not, this won't do anything. Also, you shouldn't have to give the 'toField' and 'fromField' entries. If your links are set up right, it will find those automatically. One last thing, if you have userEditableFields or fieldsToRender you have to add these to them as well. Use: '__crosslink_user_to_hobby_a' as the element name for the first one. > // i put this in > //function preGenerateForm(&$fb) {} You don't need this if there's nothing in it. ;-) > > but the crosslink part of the form doesnt appear > > what else must i do, that i'm going to be happy > > ;-)) > -- Justin Patrin
