Much like DataObjects does. This is nigh impossible at the moment, especially with all of the types of elements. Setting deaults *has* to come from the DO. There's also all of the callbacks and such to consider. FormBuilder is much more than just a form builder. ;-) It also aids in form processing and population. (In fact, it does the form processing for you, so you'd need FormBuilder anyway.) This brings up a good point, though. The form building could possibly be seperated from the form processing. This is just speculation, though, I haven't thought about this before. We *are* thinking about seperating the elements from the main FormBuilder code into their own classes, but again, this is just a thought at the moment, there's no work behind it. > > Thanks again for your help! > -- Justin Patrin
