[DUG] Delphi 2007 and Delphi for PHP

[Nick Fauchelle]

When I watch the video and I see him drop those controls on the page, 
and then he runs the page... I wanna see what the html code looks like. 
How is the position of the controls done in the html - does it create 
tables, does it use styles. If we edit that page in dreamweaver / 
notepad and put those controls in a table ourselves - when we open it in 
Delphi how will that then look. Will it support css so if we change the 
color of the listbox/editbox etc will that display in Delphi.

Will be very interested to see a demo before I buy it.
