I think it would be rather difficult or impossible to use Fox's validation functions in the wikiforms script, but I don't really know. I just want to comment briefly on your statement: > using fox doesn't give me an editable table of submissions - just plain text > under headings. Fox plus Input markup allows creation of all kinds of edit forms. Say you have data pages each with 20 PTVs with data items, you could build a fox edit form where each PTV is displayed for editing in a separate field. What Fox lacks at present is a generic edit form which will display edit fields for whatever number of PTVs it finds automatically. Fox could also edit single table rows, by having a foxedit link attached to each, and clicking it will open an edit form with corresponding fields for each cell, provided that the table is constructed as a pagelist and each row represents a data page. But no doubt Wikiforms is much more specialised and clever in handling data tables. Fox is more of an all-purpose processor. ~Hans _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
