Is there some way to format the layout of the fields within a form? I''ve got about 10 fields that I''d like to lay out in a couple of columns. Tried putting them in a table and that didn''t work too good. Any pointers will be very much appreciated. Thanks, Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don''t think that there''s anything in Rails that will help with the layout in this manner. Perhaps separating each column into a partial, placing a div around each and then just positioning the 2 divs might make it a little less confusing in the stylesheet. I could be wrong though.

I don''t know if you are still looking for something to help with your forms, but I have a plugin called simple_form that may help. You can check it out into your vendor/plugins directory from svn: http://opensvn.csie.org/calico_rails/simple_form There is little documentation... I know, it''s a todo item. Hope this helps.

What''s wrong with at table or a definition list ? I''ve used both, and my forms end up all nice and neat and such. I may not understand the question fully.

Hi Dylan,
I put a table with a nested ''tr'' / ''td''
structure and got unexplainable behavior including rows being in a different
order than you''d expect from the code. I''d be happy to share
the code and results if anybody''s interested.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Steve, I see some things in your plugin that look like they might be very helpful. My problem is that I''m so new to RoR that I''m heavily dependent on documentation and/or list help like this. I''m pretty good at _doing_ documentation though, so if you''d be willing to provide some offline help with using it, I''d be willing to put my learning down in writing. If you''re interested, let me know.
