[RESOLVED] HTML Quickform customising form layouts

reeksy

I have a form with a few form elements. However some of these elements I want on the same line rather than on separate lines.

The example below highlights my problem:

$form = new HTML_QuickForm();
$form->addElement('header', 'MyHeader', 'Testing QuickForm');
$form->addElement('text', 'MyTextBox', 'What is your name?');
$form->addElement('text', 'MyTextBox2', 'What is your dogs name?');
$form->addElement('text', 'MyTextBox3', 'What is your cats name?');
$form->addElement('reset', 'btnClear', 'Clear');
$form->addElement('submit', 'btnSubmit', 'Submit');
if ($form->validate()) {
# If the form validates then freeze the data
$form->freeze();
 }
 $form->display();

I want the last two elements ('MyTextBox2', 'MyTextBox3') to appear on the same line. Is this possible with HTML QuickForm?

I've not worked with this class, but poking around the documentation suggest to me that you'd probably have to do something with the renderer classes/methods to supply your own template.

Sorry I can't be more help than that.

The one that does what you want the way you want it done.

OK - resolved.

Use HTML_QuickForm_Renderer_Default to customise the form.

See the PEAR manual for examples.
