I'm not sure the reasoning behind implementation is the correct one, but I do like the concept, especially for power users and developers who need to change advanced options during run-time. I have a couple of comments: 1. It would be nice if the options that have particular effects for integer values, were a drop-down choice rather than an integer gadget (this stop sthe users selecting out-of-range values and makes it clear what the choice is going to do). eg. http_proxy_auth would show the options "No proxy", "NTLM authentication". 1b. As above but for fields expecting filenames, paths and colours should show something appropriate to make the choice easier and avoid errorneous input, although these might be tricky to implement given the constraints of HTML. 2. I'm not sure if there are any options that are dangerous to change during run-time, but if so there should be the possibility of making these read-only. Chris
