:) Thanks for pointing out that it was a Google Soc. That's actually why I put my 1/2 cent in there. I figured the mentors for the student would make sure the component conforms to the Trinidad way of doing things and plays nicely with the other components/skinning/PPR/etc.... As an aside, how do people create forms today that this new component will help with? I am migrating away from embedding <table tr td> tags directly into my pages; but the row alignment is a little "off" when using panelFormLayout (2 columns) and the rows contain different height components. For example row 1/column 1 is an input box; row 1/column 2 is a select box. The second column on row 1 will be a little large than column 1 and everything in column two will be shifted down a couple of pixels. Chris....
