As already stated by others, a lot of the those functions can be accomplished easily enough with the jQuery core library or via the Form plug-in. I've also been developing an extension I call the Field Plug-in--which offers more robust methods for getting/setting field values, as well as a collection of other useful field-related functions. http://jquery.com/plugins/project/field One of the benefits of my getters and setters is that they're based on the ideas I used in qForms (which I know you've used in the past)--which might help in the transition. Between the Form, Field and Validation plug-ins you really have quite a bit of power at your disposal. Throw in some of the other plug-ins--such as the Masked Input, Select Box Manipulation to name a few--and you can really quickly start building some complex UI rules. -Dan
