OK - so you want to be sure that the options are there - even if someone writes some extension that manipulates the element. Hmm ... Let's say that I am overriding render to add some formatting (or to use some different templating) - then, I don't know about others but, I would expect that the options are there already at that stage. It would be unintuitive if after 'populate' the element is not yet ready made. Or let's say I want to delete some of the generated options - because even if they come from the database I don't want them in the form - then again I would expect that after the call to populate the element is ready and I can delete from it the options that I don't want. Isn't that what you would expect? -- Zbigniew Lukasiak http://brudnopis.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ HTML-FormFu mailing list HTML-FormFu@lists.scsys.co.uk http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/html-formfu
