Doug,
That's awesome, thanks. It's a shame that it requires an extra
database hit after the POST, but that's still infinitely neater than
my suggestion.
Can you clarify for me what the return statement in form_builder is
doing? I'm new to python, but I thought type() was used to determine
the datatype of an object.
Thanks again,
Matt.
