I'm just going to echo what Eelco originally said: HTML is quite good for defining forms. I'm glad people have found ways to generate them from XML or whatever (and for some purposes I'm sure that's best), but I would encourage new users to keep an open mind about plain HTML templates for forms (and everything else). It's not always easy to accept coming from other Java frameworks where things are so different, but I hate to see people building heavy-duty (and ultimately inflexible) form generators just to avoid coding up ten different forms in HTML.
A really swell idea from Galligan's Groovy demo was generating basic form markup for components and dumping it to stdout. Ideally, this would go into the component missing from markup error screen. Then you could copy, paste, and add whatever extra markup you want. The demo is here if anyone missed it: http://bigheadco.blogspot.com/2007/03/party-on-patio.html Nathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
