texte = The great benefit, Donovan, is that when you replace your library of frequently-used include files with a library of functions, they will be easier to use, and the code will be much easier to read and maintain.This will allow the development of extensive code libraries that can be included at the top of your pages for doing all the simple things you have to code over and over again. These will then be customizable extensions to the WebDNA language that are called in a syntactically consistent manner to the built-in WebDNA tags.For example, you could write a GMTTime function that you could call with:[GMTTime offset=2&unit=days]that would return a properly formatted GMT time stamp offset 2 days from the current time.Or an Email Validator called like:[showif [ValidEmail email=[theEmail]]=T]Or an AddToCart function that adds things your way, with whatever options you may need.The possibilities are endless.- brianAt 4:39 PM 9/19/02, Donovan wrote: >Scott Anderson wrote: > >> I see your point.
