A great application, but my preference these days is to always make webpages that are not laid out using tables.

Would be great just to have nice DIV layers for the forms, ripe for customisation as opposed to incredibly restrictive tables.

Once I have created my components, I am going to have to spend just as much time as the initial creation going through the views and removing the tables.. still saving masses of time overall, but mildly annoying

Well i also think it would be better to have div's and go tableless but with template overrides and a good notepad++ search/replace sequence, it's not that long to change. You still have lots to do with your divs to get a nice looking page anyway.

I jumped and started to work on a demo component... but 2 days later this demo component became the real component. I just showed today the end result to my customer and he turned to me and said... "this is more than I expected"... All of this is because Cook did cut about 70% of my work and provided me more ways to improve the usability of the component. The end result was 17 tables all related between than to generate a full dashboard for the travel agents. Thanks for Cook developers for such great tool. This component would not be possible to be done at short time with all the features in it
