    (web) database application design tool

    anybody know of any good ones?
    (besides dotnet and ultradev)
    i have decided to build my own.
    all i am using is javascript, html and the dom.
    all properties are stored in the document
    (there are no external files, just the web page itself)
    it's kind of cool, all i have to do is dblclick to go into design mode.
    make changes, save, and when i refresh i'm back into run mode.
    it's actually very similar to the way access works.
    i even have subforms, these are just iframes.
    a properties window, taborder, recordsource, controlsource,
    snaptogrid, multiselect drag and drop, field alignment,
    several types of comboboxes, duplicate fields,
    import fields from table, generic save, new and delete routines,
    and all the normal tags and properties, styles, etc.
    and it works in ie, navigator and mozilla, with any database.
    it is possible to do.
    every positionable tag has to be surrounded by a div.
    in design mode, i can change the properties of a tag,
    or alt-click to change the properites of the div that contains it.
    i'm using the northwind database to test it,
    i tried to post a screen shot but attachments won't go thru

        Read the FAQ, dummy.

        Never assume that people have, or even can, read the subject.
        Some newsreaders don't show the subject while you're reading
        the message. Since you're in the position of asking people
        to give you information, it's your responsibility to post in
        a manner that everybody can read.

          You are assuming that I can even see the subject. But that's nice
          language coming from someone who wants an answer (possibly from the
          person you called stupid). Learn to read FAQ's, learn to post, and come
          back.

              Thanks but I already have one. It is, perhaps, you who should get a
              resource that can teach you to read and comprehend.

                  You're the one asking for help. It's your responsibility
                  to adapt to the fact that the person who is best able to
                  help you may happen to choose to use a newsreader without
                  the features you expect.
