Just a note: there *will* be a concrete Zend_Form class extending Zend_Form_Abstract in the final version. > > Secondly: > > Why don't you use Zend_Layout? > > Why don't I use Smarty, Flexy, or whatever? > I don't see your point here? One other note: by default, Zend_Form will use Zend_View helpers for rendering, which may be incompatible with some templating systems. However, you will be able to extend the element classes to override the render() method to perform any logic you want for rendering. > > Thirdly: > > Cut off the default Zend library, for the users and the traffic limit :) > > Sorry for my bad criticism, but I found nothing really 'impressive'. > > It's more or less a copy of the demo in the lab put inside a simple > > working app. > > Try do improve this example with some features, where people can say: wow, > > thank you for this tip. > > Best regards > > Instead of just giving bad criticism, let me know what you'd like to see. > What are you expecting from Zend_Form, do you have use cases of stuff that > currently isn't in the proposal?

I agree with Andries: if you have criticism, be as specific as possible. Vague criticism does not help the development process. I need something I can reproduce or write a use case for. :-) -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney PHP Developer | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zend - The PHP Company | http://www.zend.com/
