CCK 'field types' are specific kinds of data, like URLs or images or large blocks of text or numbers or dates. CCK 'widgets' are UI elements that edit those pieces of data (like a dropdown list of user accounts) CCK 'content types' are defined collections of fields, with the settings regarding which widgets should be used to edit them. (One field type may support numerous different editing widgets for different UI needs)
And I want to build on that for FAPI 2.0 You define the fields that are in your form, then you place the widgets where you want them in the form structure (ie: add fieldsets, tables, etc). Apart from the database backend that cck provides, all the validation and rounding and all that would be re-usable by fapi. -- Adrian Rossouw Drupal developer and Bryght Guy http://drupal.org | http://bryght.com
