Or write it to a db and recall it.firstname=[listwords words=[name]&delimiters= ][showif [index]=1][word][/listwords] etc.Wait a minute, this breaks if firstname contains Mr. or Ms. or Dr. , not really a problem with ending suffixes like generation, cause they'll get clipped anyways, unless I have John H.

Might wanna write that to a db somewhere so I can pull it back up.Seems to me like a lot of two step shuffle that would be nicely ameliorated by the addition of two tiny fields added to the shopping cart...;)--Will StarckNovaDerm Skincare Sciencehttp://www.novaderm.comwjs@novaderm.comOn Tuesday, December 17, 2002, at 09:29 AM, John Peacock wrote:> WJ Starck wrote:>> Please please SM can we have separate fields for first name, last >> name and middle initial?????????????!>> Create your own form with seperate first name, last name, and middle > initial fields, then glue them together yourself (with the appropriate > number of spaces, if you so choose).>> John>> -- > John Peacock> Director of Information Research and Technology> Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group> 4720 Boston Way> Lanham, MD 20706> 301-459-3366 x.5010> fax 301-429-5747>>> -------------------------------------------------------------> This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to> the mailing list .> To unsubscribe, E-mail to: > To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to > > Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/>>---------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
