Shouldn't there be in QuickForm function similar to addData > but with template (like addHeader)? You could also use a template system like PEAR::HTML_Template_IT Quickform has a nice function toArray() which you can use to assign data to your template {vars}. You don't need the setElementTemplate() and addData methods anymore if you use that. But I agree a method similar to addHeader would be useful and shouldn't be too hard to code I guess. Jeroen btw: $form->toArray() fails if you've used the method addData. This is because toArray() expects only objects (I think!)
