Hi Charles,
ooh yes please! I would love to get my head around jQuery and I intend to - any books/tutorials for newbs with very little coding knowledge you would recommend?
One of the things I am trying to do with this site is to avoid using InfoPath forms if possible. Not because I think InfoPath is bad; I have used InfoPath forms on another site with similar purpose but found that the more I added rules and views and validations etc. the longer they take to render. So I thought I'd use SPD and create a new form for adding records because I could hide fields not needed at the initial data entry point. However, a couple of the fields are YES/NO and that is why I am customising - because SharePoint 2010 won't enable the Required/Optional/Hidden settings for the YES/NO fields when I enable management of content types. There's always a gotcha!
So, to your question - yes please. I would love to improve my skill set to use jQuery to manipulate forms as you have suggested and would appreciate the walk through you have offered. I would still like to know if the code should have worked on a customised form or was the XLV / DFWP difference my problem?

Sorry- could not figure out how to put these in a table format (looked up Daring Fireball but using standard html tags didn't work)
Thanks doesn't seem adequate, but thanks anyway!
