Are you referring to the Hunting Log?
Both Dirk and I got that running after you released the version that had 
better control over the Paths.
We both replied to the list on this - I still had the Windows issue with a ; 
instead of a : in the include_path.

Those forms were pretty basic (by design I know).

Inserting client-side JS for validation shouldn't be a problem.  I was
more concerned with JS in controls (i.e. drop down calendar)

Flexy includes most if not all the functions for generating standard
HTML controls.  I'm more after customized versions of controls (date
control, time control, editor controls, etc)

Yeah, I agree, this is more the type of scenario I was getting at.

Actually Flexy used QuickForm for a while and then got rid of it.  Quick
form was more for implementing entire forms via PHP code and wasn't
really intended or use in template engines.  Flexy allows you to stub
out, for example, your list box in the template and the code that
generates it is in the view.  I have an example of this one or more of
the views in the sample code that you and Dirk are yet to get working
(sorry, shameless dig).
