Leon,
Quick question: in crmsfa, did you use that trick to style just the table or all
of its elements too? The reason I ask is, I modified the form renderer to only
use the <span> element when a style is specified in the xml file, otherwise the
element just appears in its container.
Example:
Existing form renderer outputs
<td width="20%" align="right"><span>First Name</span></td>
My modification outputs
<td>First Name</td>
I'm concerned my improvements might break your styling, should they make their
way into the project.

Quick and dirty way to accomplish this: Wrap your form call in a
<container id="something">
Then you can use CSS selectors to select that particular form table:
#someting table {}
I think we do this trick in crmsfa, where the form widget is probably
most intensively used.
Cheers,

At first I didn't care for it because it produced a very simplistic
form. After digging into the HtmlFormRenderer.java code, I discovered
it has tremendous styling ability that isn't used by default. So, if
you take the time to create a decent form widget CSS style, then you
can get the form widget's output to look quite fancy.
One glaring omission in HtmlFormRenderer.java - there is no way to
specify a style for the layout table it contains. Otherwise, it's an
awesome piece of code.
