I actually wrote a whole article about how much nicer Spry *could* be, if the authors (Dreamweaver team I believe) had chosen different design principals, and why it actually doesn't do a very good job of living up to its stated intent. Or... well on reviewing my blog I've actually written several articles on that subject... I didn't realize how much I'd written about it actually... http://ontap.riaforge.org/blog/index.cfm/2008/4/10/Spry-is-Inaptly-Named http://ontap.riaforge.org/blog/index.cfm/2008/5/11/Learning-Curves These other two are just about some issues I've run into with it: http://ontap.riaforge.org/blog/index.cfm/2008/5/20/Spry-Date-Hints-COLLIDE-With-Dynarch-Calendar-Widget http://ontap.riaforge.org/blog/index.cfm/2008/6/5/Spry-Phone-Number-Validation Overall I just find it to be highly coupled with a big learning curve. -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 781.769.0723 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316669 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
