Yes, I'm not saying that it's impossible, just that it's not necessarily ideal — in other words, we should look at the ramifications. Another option, which may just be crazy: <form enctype='something-magic-about-dap-contacts' onsubmit='foo()'> <input type='text' name='given-name'/> <input type='text' name='family-name'/> <!-- other stuff --> </form> On implementations that support this entry point, you'd get a way of selecting contacts, triggered from the magic enctype. On older implementations, you fall back to the form. I'm not saying it's a great way to go about it, just that there may be other alternative markup-based entry points (and that in some cases there won't be a good markup option). -- Robin Berjon robineko — hired gun, higher standards http://robineko.com/
