So last night I started working on implementing post-events; we have the beginnings of a working post-event. It still needs to have a hash of the form values passed to it, so that it can do things with the form data. I was thinking about something, though: we've got the idea now of a form pre-event and form post-event. What about cases where you want to have a page pre-event and post-event--- for example, taking data from page 1, running a SQL query with that data, and populating a selectbox on page 2 with output from the SQL query? I do this a lot when I'm building web forms. I don't think the DTD supports that at this point. So, I think we should have page-by-page pre-events and post-events as optional fields. Thoughts? srl -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Shane R.

I thought I'd mentioned them at some stage in the past, but perhaps I hadn't. Are they in the DTD?

Okay, that means that one of the next tasks will be writing up a revised sample file with some of those attributes in it, as well as more different kinds of validations. Maybe I'll get to that tonight or something. srl -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Shane R.
