It keeps the original formatting.

interpreted = N
texte = If I'm reading you correctly.... You'll need client side programming to do the auto-populating (i.e., javascript). The problem here is that when the page is displayed, it first does all the server-side functions (i.e., the WebDNA). *After* the page is loaded into the client's browser, *then* any javascript is processed. Thus, it can't go back and look up WebDNA (server-side) stuff *unless* you reload the page, thus the search button. Maybe somebody has a suggestion - I know that Flash has been used with WebDNA in this manner.
