I don't think this is an XForms problem, rather a page layout problem. And it's not necessarily inaccessible if it's done correctly, and certainly not "highly inaccessible". A question especially relevant to designing forms pages is why doesn't CSS support a grid layout. The controls and labels in forms are an example of where the arrangement of elements in columns and rows is necessary, but they don't consitute a data table. Or do they? I think there's an unresoved issue here. OTH it's not an XForms issue so it's off-topic for this list. regards Alan Chuter Fundosa Teleservicios achuter@teleservicios.es Tel. +34 91 1210335 En Fri, 11 Mar 2005 13:14:01 -0500, Mike Kienenberger <mkienenb@alaska.net> escribió: > > Ian Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> wrote: >> (Take the recent XForms calculator as an example.
