Just an FYI, that article is a little outdated... APT's feature set is a bit larger than the article talks about now for one thing, although in glancing over it again, I don't see anything that's not applicable now.
Also note that the link to Rick Reumann's article is no longer valid, it is now here: http://www.learntechnology.net/content/ajax/ajax_select_alter.jsp ... Rick also updated that article for APT fairly recently, so it's even better than it was. Lastly, I didn't provide a link to my own book in that article! D'oh! Here's one: http://apress.com/book/search?searchterm=zammetti&act=search ... chapters 4 and 6 there are what's of interest, although as the note in the article says, they aren't based on the latest version, so although the underlying concepts are pretty much the same, some of the details are slightly different now. -- Frank W.
