  Hi TobyL,
  
  Just getting into your Parser code. It’s very nice I’ll see about merging it with the installer.
  
  The validation checks also sounds great but I’m concern about the @binding format as this might be a bit confusing to some. Also using @Bindings inside the source can get complicated. Not sure we would want used using @EVAL inside a document.
  
  I’m thinking of single like rules. Maybe something like:
  
  eform="Field Description:Datatype:Requirements"
  Where Requirements can be:
  0 - for NOT required (default)
  1 - for Required
  #RANGE:1-N
  #LIST:a,b,c,N
  etc...
  
  example
  
  eform="Age:number:#RANGE:18-50"
  
  What do you think?

  Could I use this snippet also split up like a wizard style?
  I have a huge form that is realy to long to put on one page
  would be great if I could split the form in 3 or for and send it at the end.
  
  any suggestions on this one?

  You could do that with css/js.. split the form content to multiple divs and hide/display them when user clicks your wizard forward/back buttons..

  Yeah I agree with doze on that.
  
  You can try one of those javascript Tab solutions that are available out their.
  
  Hint: This would be so easy with the next version of MODx that I’m working on. So sorry it’s not there yet But just keep on praying and in time it will.

  Another Feature request:
  
  storing a copy of the send mails local in database or in a textfile would be great.

  There are tons of tab js-packages on the net, just do a search with words like dhtml, javascript, tab, pane, etc.

  For any unknown reason, I don’t get the snippet to work.
  I used the the eForm v.1.2 and the example from dimmy (http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,2122.msg16490.html#msg16490 ).
  Everything looks fine. the form is visible.
  But when i filled the textfields (also with invalid input) and press the sendbutton nothing happens.
  No Email is sended, neither reponse-text nor verification-error will shown. Whats the problem?
  
  thanks for helping, le block
