Yea, I remember hearing about a 2.0 version of qForms although iirc the last mention of it I'd seen was on his blog over a year ago... I could be wrong, but he seems to have largely fallen off the radar... not sure why... I know managing a popular open source project can be frustrating at times and I imagine he may have felt like he needed some "space"... Though didn't the qForms API have a two-selects related feature? I used qForms for a while -- actually was rather fond of it. For a while toward the beginning of the onTap project (or maybe even before onTap when I was still promoting the TAPI libraries) I had intended to integrate with the qForms library in the onTap framework. I'd created a preliminary management API -- something that would abstract the qForms API further to eliminate a lot of common, repetitive form-management tasks. I emailed Dan about it asking what his opinion was, but that was about the time he seemed to sort of disappear and I never heard anything back... Since then I've replicated many (most?) of the qForms features in the onTap framework, and a number of features that qForms simply couldn't accomodate due to it's client-side nature (the onTap equivalents are client-server bundled features, so just about anything you can do client-side you can also do server-side with similar cf syntax). I've also implemented a javascript client-server tool in the framework but didn't use wddx or xml (or any iframes) to accomplish it. > Our whole CFUG adapted QForms after Dan spoke to our > group two years ago.

I made a 4 hr drive from Dallas to Austin a little over a year ago to promote the onTap framework. Although I only had to make the drive once each direction. I wanted to make the same trip to present in Houston but at the time I couldn't find any information about a Houston CFUG and I hear from one of the guys there that there wasn't really an active CFUG at the time... there was one, but it wasn't active or was just getting started. 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://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:199257 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
