A lot of the functionality can be done, however there are a few issues with browsers and the way they render form elements which could cause problems (for example, select boxes always appearing above any form element.) Can you work around some of the issues, yes, but the workarounds are not always elegant. [cut] > I understand and agree with not wanting to run a server for just creating > content.

Some of the event driven stuff needs work, but qForms v2 (which is in development) has much better custom event handlers. -Dan
