I agree... In fact the last major project I did by myself was even better,
it was
layout_textbox(array(
vname => "user_name",
desc => "Enter your name",
size => 20,
pixel_size => 120, //Just for better control in IE
max_size => 30 ));
doesn't matter what order they go in, and the function puts
defaults in for missing variables.
you get the idea... made coding slightly longer, execution slightly
slower, but maintainince 100% faster, no more looking up queer
function definitions every time you wanted to change the size or
value of something.
Plus, when i changed all text fields in the system to simple ones
with a different stylesheet, I simply update layout_textbox function.
Couldn't use stylesheet, or buttons would be affected as well...

Almost exactly the same, save it would be
layout_open_table(array(.....));
foo foo foo
layout_close_table();
Didn't think anybody out there did it the way I do :-)
