Maybe you're thinking just too low level ;) Just think of you wanting to provide a grid. As Brock put it, you'll use row()/ col()/ or whatever to build that. That's just presentation. Or, you want a three-state button (pushed/ not-pushed/ disabled). You first have to allow for that (presentation), then you can think about linking to some data (like, if i < 0 -> not-pushed i > 0 -> pushed i = 0 -> disabled) After you have that in place, you can think about data. (but that's just my .02 Euros;) ) Best, John >Eugene > > > > > > >__________________________________ >Do you Yahoo!? >Yahoo!
