Hi All,
OK I've had enough of the .net formview control. If you are doing basic forms it's great but the second that you try and do some complex stuff in it such as cascading drop downs and the like you need to add in excessive javascript code and code in the code behind.It gets very complex working with these forms.
In a previous job I did a form generation component that compiled the HTML for a form including that of cascading drop downs. This was all basic HTML (with an early form of AJAX) but used no .NET server side controls. Looking back it was pretty damn fast and very easy to new forms for.
Before I go and start on this, does anyone know of any code that already does this that would save me wasting my time?
Regards,
Jon
