I hope you see my point. I see your point... I hadn't used grouped elements yet, so hadn't run accross that situation. Can we add a getElementTemplate function? That way, I can pull back the current value, manipulate it and then set it with setElementTemplate. I know I can get to this through the actual variable _elementTemplate, but that's not good OOP, and it might not be supported in PHP5. Thanks, -Dan PS. I sent you an email a few months or so ago that included some code to allow for default attributes for given types. I never got a response. Did you not get that?
