That is very helpful thanks Jim, I had not realised that I could do that with ASV and IE...pretty cool.
Unfortunately I only saw your email this morning and I have already taken what I learnt from the Text boxes done by Jan Klaas Kollhof and Holger Will and fixed the problems I was having with the Strayley form library. I will certainly be using your example in my next upgarde if the XForms/XBL/SVG option is still not mature. I am in the process of figuring out a way of showing the svg-developers what I have done to piece together my web app, but it may take a few weeks before I have completed all my testing, delivered it to the client and finalised things.
