Yes, you're right: the usual, dumb, wasteful approach to coding is that you have to explicitly specify every little thing you want your program to do. If that's how you want to write your code, you should not, I repeat *not* use CakePHP. CakePHP does things like automatically generate DOM ID's for form inputs, because 99.9% of the time, that's exactly what I want it to do, so I'd rather it just do it, as opposed to me having to tell it to do it. That's called "convention over configuration". If you *do not* want it to follow this default behavior (a.k.a. "convention"), you can *explicitly specify* something else. Like, for example, a custom DOM ID. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
