Ah Mark, yes... I thought of spending time doing all this and
nutting it out but it would take me simply ages and ages. If you
have anything I would lurve to take a peek... I want that the
feedback appears, that I don't have to use tables if I don't
want, that the feedback itself is easy to css, that maybe one
does not need so much full on stuff, labels and so on... Put it
this way, what would be good is the absolute minimum for it to
work and feedback to appear on the page next to the "mistake".
Poley is good but as he says, he does not provide anything like
drop in scripts (that's for sure eh?)

What can I give you in return? How about: a promise that we will
absolutely wipe the Poms out when they come over for next test?

Need a viable email? Or maybe you go public and others chip in
and it becomes an open project?
