texte = Thanks Ken I would just like to say that I learned a valuable lesson in webdna and coding in general. There are obviously so many ways to skin a cat!!! For many if not all of the code related questions on this forum I have seen many different approaches to how people would attack the same problem. Yesterday and together with Ken's solution today I have grown wiser to the multitude of ways that you can do things. RichC if you are reading this, stick with it... I was totally lost when I first looked at webdna but now that I have gotten my head around some basic concepts it has been fairly easy to expand on them. I like the ease and pace (after the initial shock) webdna moves at, I have enjoyed the process of ditching dreamweaver to hand code everything, I have played about with the a little php / coldfusion and I have to say I like webdna the most so far. Anyway, that's my props for webdna and thanks to all the folk that have helped me get going with it. I'm off for a few beers and enjoy the weekend...
