That method works great if you have all text fields, or dropdowns, or textareas.
But what if you have a raxio button or a checkbox? How do you indicate if a
field is required? How do you perform validation on fields of a certain type?

to just shift your typing duties from one place to another.

I'd love to look at it if you're interested in mailing it over.

Hi Andy:
I actually wrote a script that was intended to replace formmail, but
