is this where the SMARTY thing comes into play? I've heard of it for a
long time but have never used it, as I generally prefer to code my
applications personally...
i think i'm still looking for a good reason NOT to use javascript to
populate my form fields, since I know that my audience is finite and
restricted to javascript-enabled browsers.... especially when my form has
50+ fields. it's too late to look at templating (ie: learning something
new) at this point in the project, but i will do it in the future.
thanks
