You might have another look, there's been a lot of innovation in the past year. In particularly, I don't remember offhand how long its been since I introduced the HTML library, and it's been significantly less time since I introduced the XHTML tag(s) which make using the html library a lot easier (plus built-in support for XSL skins like CF7's cfform tags, but not just for forms). You might still consider it overkill but it's probably worth a second glance at this point. It's liable to be easier to implement now. Might be an advantage if you're outsourcing work to be able to tell them they don't have to include any values in input elements when they create form templates. Or not. Hard to say from a distance, but it's one of the things I like -- I'm not entirely certain I've figured out the best way to hand that sort of work to an intern or other outsource worker given that my form templates now mostly boil down to about a dozen lines it almost seems like I could be done writing the form by the time I explained what I needed to someone. At this point innovation in the framework core is slowing down and becoming mostly bug fixing. I did add the RuleManager cfc's recently and was using them to build the eventLog in the latest Members onTap plugin version. I uploaded it late last night just before realizing that I still needed to perform the preliminary testing on the event-error functionality (though the prelim. testing of undo/redo was finished). I did know before I uploaded it that I still needed to update the plugin documentation to add info about the new features. It seems almost like these things fly in the face of my using the framework to speed up my development, since the RuleManager and the eventLog have taken longer to build, but then they're definately not CRUD type systems and hopefully I've made them extensible enough that I can reuse them for a lot of other systems later. So ultimately the hope is they will do for some non-CRUD work what the sql-abstraction and xhtml tools are doing for CRUD. And now I'm rambling again... :P s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Protect Your PC from viruses, hackers, spam and more.
