I tend to use PerForm for complex forms: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/AxKit-XSP-PerForm/PerForm.html
Others write custom taglibs: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/AxKit/Apache/AxKit/Language/XSP/Tagli bHelper.html The general idea is that the output is an abstract representation of a form, not specifically a HTML form. We then transform that to the desired output format. But then if you're happy with EmbPerl, why switch? Matt. -- <:->Get a smart net</:-> > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard L.
