Hello,
I am considering purchasing CCS for myself, and basically have a few questions to justify it in my mind...
1 - What level of control is there for events and custom coding - for example, can I custom code events on the server side during the output of data to a form? Also, what about data input? I can throw in javascript for input right - what about server side options - like the user submits the form and the server checks it? Finally, can all this custom code be done, and not mess up the auto-generation capabilities of CCS?
2 - Multi-stage forms - for example, the user comes to a form, fill out several fields. They submit, go to a second form and fill out several additional fields... Finally at the last form, the data is actually written to the database.
3 - Custom code capabilities - java, flash, javascript? Are these easy to embed and use in conjunction with ccs? My primary concern with custom code is if I will ruin the auto code generation capabilities... Ideally, I want to be able to do lots of fancy and custom stuff, but still use code charge as my complete development enviornment, taking advantage of its automatic features.
4 - Finally, what about the GUI layout page editor? How might it compare to Dreamweaver as a page layout program? Does it at least have most of the capabilities for layout? Custom layout is going to be just as important to me as custom coding.....
Your responses are greatly appriciated!

1. Code is extremely customizable via events. You can perform validation on
server side and CCS GUI lets you add your js events to code.
CCS code can be modified anywhere and changes will be saved in the project.
2. That is possible.
3. Javascript - yes. Java applets - yes. Flash - better try it and say us your opinion.
4. Design editor is basic , but suitable for most purposes.
Generated html templates can be edited e.g. in DW and still used
in CCS projects. Also , FrontPage plugin is available.
