What really is needed is a new html tag called "grid" or something that
handles this more gracefully. Using the iterate tag seems to be a waste
since I'm not really using it for anything other than a counter placeholder.
I know its a departure from standard HTML form types but who the hell cares.
This would be really useful addition instead of mixing html tags in with
iterate tag to accomplish something that should be simple. Maybe I'll write
a taglib for this...
So reading your comments, Jim, it sounds like your using code analagous to
this but your implementation uses a map instead (?)
BTW, now that I'm using html field names like customerContactName[0].title,
I find that conventional javascript to set focus doesn't work - I get
javascript errors. Any ideas how to reference these fields?
thanks,
jeff
