The key functions are bi_HandleBrowse() which handles the 'viewing' of the form (with no action specified, but that's easy to implement), and then bi_HandleProcessForm() which handles the action when the user submits new values from the page form. ~ ~ Dave ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
