CRecordEdit v. 2.0
creates an HTML form given an ADO recordset. Uses different controls (textbox, checkbox, textarea) for different datatypes. Determines maxlength property based on datatype. Keeps some useful info in hidden fields.
Original Author: Neil McGuigan
Inputs
Add your own HTML and JavaScript to sections of the form:
.moreTblTags
.moreCaptionTags
.moreCellTags
.moreRowTags
Other:
.uniqueField - defaults to 0. change if needed.
.print(rs) - prints one record from the recordset.
Assumptions
Tested on all JET/ADO datatypes. Extensive SQL server testing coming soon. Should work though.
There are some hidden fields with no value that you can update with JS if you like (example 'selected field').
You should use cascading style sheets to format the form.
NS & IE event management in next version.
Returns
uses response.write to output nicely formatted HTML (with tabs and linefeeds).
Side Affects
Writes query string to a hidden field if you don't use a view.
Does not correctly determine maxlength for numeric types (except short int, and byte).

'TO DO:
' cross-browser event handling (caption onclick, field on change)
'shouldn't use HTML tags for formatting, use CSS
'verify with all SQL Server types.
'add 'goto hyperlink' and 'sendmail' icons if field contains (only) a url
'fix maxlength. shows number of bits for numbers.
