I am not using revigniter yet but I downloaded it and have been reading since your post. I am really new to web programming and irev has very little info unless they wrote documentation I don't know about so I have been learning web basics from other sources.
Thanks for the reply and the offer to see your code. I will probably take you up on that offer when I learn more. -=>JB<=- On Mar 24, 2011, at 12:20 PM, Sivakatirswami wrote: > On 3/23/11 7:05 PM, -=>JB<=- wrote: >> That looks very nice.
