I have date/time inputs on my forms with these javascript masterpiece: 
http://dynarch.com/mishoo/calendar.epl; It's a couple of script files 
and one stylesheet file. Right now I link it with these external files, 
but once style/script libraries will work I may include it into the image.

Hmm, maybe for start it would be pretty enough to have something like 
#alternateTitle: taking and returning a String. Maybe someone has other 
idea like of more advanced "title handler" (I like the name :)

It looks promising. Given the list of IDs and CSS class names, the 
designer would just style the application as if it would be colouring 
book. One more thing; I noticed that in rendering methods in model 
protocol such as #textInputOn:of: there is a setup for element's id. It 
makes annoying bug of multiple ids in case:

	html textInputOn: #property of: data1.
	html textInputOn: #property of: data2.

Is there that id needed for something?

Yes, one object per stylesheet. I completely agree with suites.

Urgh, what happens when I remove it? Feels like cutting tree branch you 
sitting on :) Definetely there must be way to bring it back, just let us 
know how to :)

Yes, just group submit buttons with forms. Setting for base path would 
have to go into "General" form as well I think.
