The other thing to consider here is whether it's worth the additional overhead to use flash. The flashforms are great for multi-page forms and for forms where you may want to consolidate a lot of data in a small space using elements like the accordian and the tabnavigator. However, if it's just admin pages and some basic forms, I'd still stick with html forms.

Although XP is our main standard, we don't really push Flash out for use, or any other helper applications for that matter. Again, we can't control what the students may have on their computers. There a few Linux people who love to bitch to us about using Windows everywhere. ;^) However, they are few. I have a few on-line elections (Student Govt Offices, Homecoming, etc.) that are focused to the students. I may give Flash forms a shot at those. I'm sure there are very few students who don't have Flash players.

So why just just make Falsh Player 7 a minimum requirement? -Adam ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:199589 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=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
