What is the purpose of those temp elements (temp image, temp map, etc) ?

They are placed there temporarily :) mostly to show clients where something like the logo will be (as the text says "logo" "AD" etc :) you can also place your own text there so something like "YOUR LOGO WOULD GO HERE" makes it clearer for clients to visualise what is planned to go where.

Thanks Wayan
but LOL again, thats « elements to have elements », I can add a picture and let the placeholder show the picture word (and I can explain to client « the grey rectangle with picture word will be an image »).
Useless elements (or probably I’m not able to feel the philosophy behind, sorry) :rolleyes:

Great idea, let's forget about "ipsum lorem ..." :cool: text and don't bother "menu item 1", "menu item 2" as well.
Why didn't I think about this before? LOL :cool:

Hennie you know I just discover RSD, let me be astonished by some parts of this great app…
why use ‘lol’ we have ‘:D’ ?
(yes, « lorem ipsum » element can be great)

Well you don't have to use them, they are not useless, they can be pretty useful for some people :)

From a user standpoint, it's good for putting together a quick mockup for a client. From a programming standpoint, it provides a default object on the page to which the default css is applied.

Did you know that Web Form Builder can be used for both simple and complicated forms and that it's not limited to the default fonts and buttons? Take a look at a form we developed for WindowTinting.com.

Thanks Brian
Playing (some rapid tests) with Temp elements, I now start to understand (?) how it can be used for prototyping...
sorry all, next time I'll test before to criticise :/
