I think that changes depending on front to back, and users will change
that.
The one script that has an issue populates several different forms, with
the same data.
In previous versions, it's a simple matter of placing a text box with the
correct name in the right place on the page (with appropriate style for
that version).
Now it's a mess. The id changes from form to form. Using numbers doesn't
work from form to form or even within the same form.
I'm trying a workaround using tables, which can be named. Mostly I'm using
tables with only one cell.
This used to work so well (still does in the earlier version).
