A few things:

Checkbox groups -- like other groups, these by default now organize inline -- yet when I have a lot of options for a multi-select situation, the alignment is off and checkboxes can't be matched to values.

advmultiselect -- only commits 1 value to the database (would be a nice alternative to checkbox groups otherwise). The field type is text.

tabs -- only work on edit forms, not edit related records forms. Another potentially nice feature.

autocomplete -- appears to be broken. Upon going to an edit related record form with some autocomplete fields, I get an error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function addElement() on a non-object in /var/www/private/xataface-1.0-beta-01/Dataface/FormTool/autocomplete.php on line 7


documentation -- is there more than what you have on the web for new features?

I have posted a patch for this at http://bugs.weblite.ca/view.php?id=105

Yes this would be nice.. it will be a bit time consuming and tricky though. I have posted an issue for this at http://bugs.weblite.ca/view.php?id=108
Not sure when I'll be able to get to this one though.

I am hard at work on comprehensive manual. I am using LaTEX for this. Currently it is only available through SVN.
http://weblite.ca/svn/dataface/docs/tru ... l/test.tex

But I may put up some PDF snapshots from time to time on the site. I figure it will be another month or two before I can get the manual finished.

Thanks for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Best regards
