Hardly -- competition in that category is fierce, and this proposal isn't even a contender for "stupidest" -- and there is no point in slamming people who are trying to improve HTML. I think most people agree that HTML forms could use some work. I do think that this idea simply replicates checkboxes with a different proscribed UI, but I also think it is good to talk about the limitations of forms. Sometimes on/off switches _are_ more intuitive than checkboxes. Whatever happened to the proposed features for greying out input elements (I think I saw this in an early 3.0 draft)? Did anyone other than Bill Perry ever implement this feature? Marc Hedlund <marc@organic.com> <hedlund@best.com> Organic Online is hiring Perl5/CGI programmers.
