Hi ben In which case you are looking at a multi-step form again I'm trying to think of a good example to refer you to but are coming up blank :-(
np! appreciated :-) as 'flexible' as Drupal is, I find the same lack of 'real world' examples for anything but the simplest matters ... "Pro Drupal Development" sums it up nicely: "If you come from a background where you have created your own forms directly in HTML, you may find Drupal’s approach a bit baffling at first." Imo -- amen! In DIY HTML/PHP, 'this' is all trivial. In Drupal, Creating a new form with Webform is trivial. Creating a new form programatically via module takes a bit of reading-up.. Altering a core-form is pretty straightforward. Building a non-standard workflow around core forms, using Drupal internals and 3rd party module extension is ... a bit challenging. Trying to contact the developers whose modules I'm trying to understand/extend has been less than fruitful, receiving a sometimes cool reception ... though I _have_ received offers to take my money for paid consulting ;-) This list, and Pro Drupal have been the best help so far.
