QuickForm layout?

cleanman_2

I just compledted a small project using QuickForm that contains two submit buttons. Right now they are displayed one above the other, I would prefer them to be side by side. If this is possible with QuickForm a little code that shows how to do it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm wondering if it might be simpler to address via CSS? Can you show what the resulting HTML output looks like for that section of the page? (Basically I'm interested to see what HTML tags are used and especially any class and/or id attributes associated with them.)

This was for a small project that I will use internally on a local machine. I used QuickForm because it was.. well quick. I was wondering if a more experienced user had a solution in case I used it again in the future. That being said here is the html that was generated concering the submit buttons:

</tr>

Thanks for your reply

Because it's putting the HTML into table cells, my idea of a "simple" CSS solution won't work. 🙁

Off-hand I'm not familiar with the QuickForm stuff enough to know if there's a way to tell it to put both elements into the same table row or cell.

As it turns out there is. I found the solution here: http://www.midnighthax.com/quickform.php.I tried this site earlier but for some reason could not connect, it has a more extensive tutorial than is on the Pear site.

The solution is to use addGroup() instead of addElement(). The code looks like this:

$buttons[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('reset', 'btnClear', 'Clear');
$buttons[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('submit', 'btnSubmit', 'Submit');
$form->addGroup($buttons, null, null, '&nbsp;');

Thanks for your time and effort. I'm going to set this as resolved. Hopefully this last bit of info will help someone else.
