I have actually just completed a wizard-like PerForm interface allowing users to create and edit their email accounts. It gives them a step-by-step interface for entering in information, and manages the "Next', "Back" and "Cancel" submit actions for traversing various pages. Trans-Page state is maintained in an AxKit::XSP::BasicSession datastore, and even information about what the next page will be is stored in a session key. This works out quite well. If you want more information, I can send you the XSP I use for the interface. The key thing about it's structure is it has a <wizard> wrapper around multiple <f:form> blocks, and the XSL stylesheet, based on the "CurrentPage" session key, displays and processes only one form block at a time. -- /* Michael A.
