That is:Oh my God, you mean I'm not alone?!?I can live with frames, since the classic reasons for hating them, aside from their innate stupidity -- bookmarks and search engines -- don't really apply with database-driven sites.But you're right. There's a fundamental difference between an instructional manual and a list of tag definitions, given out-of-context.Something I'd find tremendously helpful would be a task-oriented user's manual that took common tasks, suggested rationale for a few different approaches, and then detailed how you might actually implemented them. Telling me what a [formvariables] context is doesn't help me to use it or to know WHEN to use it. And before anyone explains it for me, it's just the first context that popped into my head. :) -- Regards,Christopher Mackay, Director of Technical Services Tantramar Interactive, http://www.tantramar.com/ 506/364-1097 cell: 364-7659 fax: 536-2409NEW!
