I'm happy to add that, but why would someone want to do that? Presumably if no defaults have been set then text boxes, text areas, etc, are set to an empty string, select boxes have the first in the list selected, etc; if defaults have been set then we know the values.

Could you elaborate? > You mention "Warning: The setDefaults line must precede the addElement > line". This should in fact work in any order.

I suspect the HTML was > generated, can you please post the 'source' as well? It was written using the Gentoo documentation toolkit (Gentoo is a Linux distro). See http://www.gentoo.org/ in general and http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xml-guide.xml in particular. The source is XML; I'm happy to make that available but perhaps anyone who wants it could contact me via mail. > I'd also like to borrow some parts from "Filters" and "Defaults, > Constants and processing" for the official docs. Is it OK? Of course. The documentation I have written is provided under the Creative Commons license - see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/1.0/. Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. I'll try to update the pages in the next few days and post here when they are. -- Keith Edmunds
