Actually, it appears that the form library does provide a semi-event-driven model where you can attach callbacks to various fields and events. See "man form_hook" for example. -- Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
