Hi Chris, The onTap framework also has a lot of xml-based form tools. They may or may not be similar to what you have in mind, just thought I'd let you know. It's L-GPL, so it's free and you can use it for commercial projects -- or you can just rip out what you want. The framework's XML for forms is very similar to the <cfform> features in CFMX7 (and dare I say, no harder to use now that they also use XSL sheets like the cfform tag), although they're much more powerful. (No flash forms, but lots of reliable dhtml alternatives.) If you're interested, download the latest version and view the documentation locally -- the documentation on the public server hasn't been updated in a while since I've been revising member management and security suite (Members onTap plugin). 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://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:4:204091 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
