I've seen the discussion here about standardized entry mechanisms for forms, and a lot of this seems useful. However, an 80% solution that requires no new formats or standards would be to change the browsers so they would quickly let you fill in a text field with one of a small set of standard values, generally ones they already know about. For example, I picture a future version of Microscape Navirena letting you right click in a text field and from the menu let you choose insert-name or insert-email. Poof, the field is filled in. What do you think? Anyone want to implement this? Non-GUI clients or ones with no extra mouse buttons will have to use a different mechanism. -- Ben Combee, CAD Software Developer, small language enthusiast, HTML dude Motorola, Paging Products Group, Strategic Semiconductor Operation--Austin E-mail: combee@sso-austin.sps.mot.com Phone: (512) 891-7141
