Man, are you good....;)
It now works as expected!
One last question....the form shows three text boxes next to each other.
How can I change the html to look like this:
[ ] [ ] / [ ]
{text_box} space {text_box} / {text_box}
It has something to do with format_output, but I don't understand how to
return a string to represent this layout. Also, how to control the size of
the text boxes.
Thanks again!!
Mark
