I'm working on trying to fix it now, but it's very sketchy as HTML_QF doesn't support setting checked/unckecked with setdefaults and unchecked checkboxes are often not even submitted. > > 3) Some people don't use QuickForm and/or FormBuilder because their lack > of performance (sometimes).

"Some people"? I haven't heard many complaints. One person has created a bug report about its memory footprint, but there is no solution proposed. FormBuilder is a very large pirce of code and has a *lot* of auto-generation features. One way to speed things up is to use an object code cache (such as Zend Optimizer or TurckMMCache). You could easily create your own FormBuilder driver which saved Form objects in a cache and checked for them. It's out of scope for FormBuilder to handle this natively. You will likely have a problem with the element values if you do this, so you'd have to be careful. > > Thanks, > > Rodrigo Alvarez. > -- Justin Patrin
