Re: 2 column layout for $form-input() ?
I'm using v 1.2 and wasn't able to use that method to get rid of the div's 'div'='' still created a div for me, and didn't include it inline. If you instead use this: 'div'=false in the options array, no div is created. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: 2 column layout for $form-input() ?
Cake has no solution for this. css and html however, do. Instead of using html-input, use the corresponding function that does not wrap the form elements in anything, such as html-select or html-text etc. Then, use your own css and html to get it to do what you want.

Re: 2 column layout for $form-input() ?
Here is a small example of a view file which shows one text box and 2
horizontal pull down menus in a form in a single horizontal line
div
?php echo $form-create('DataForm' );?
fieldset
legend?php __('Add Stuff');?/legend
?php
echo div id=div5;
echo $form-input('numberone' , array('label' = false ,
'type'='text','size' = '7',
'maxlength'='7' , 'div' = '' , 'error' = false));
echo $form-input('dropdown1' , array('label' = false, 'div' =
'' , 'options' = array(
'option1' ='option1',
'option2' ='option2',
'option3' ='option3',
'option4' ='option4',
)));
echo $form-input('dropdown2' , array('label' = false , 'div'
=
'', 'options' = array(
'option1' ='option1',
'option2' ='option2',
'option3' ='option3',
'option4' ='option4') ));
echo /div;
?
/fieldset
?php
echo $form-error('numberone');
echo $form-error('dropdown1');
echo $form-error('dropdown2');
echo $form-end('Send');
?
/div

Re: 2 column layout for $form-input() ?
Maybe this is a little late but perhaps it will save some other soul
some trial and error.
I'm using 1.2 branch so this may not work for 1.1.
To change the default class name for the div that surrounds the input
when using form helper use the options array like so:
echo $form-
input('tst_input',array('div'=array('class'='tst_input')));
which results in this being the output:
div class=tst_inputlabel for=tstTstInputTst Input/
labelinput name=data[tst][tst_input] type=text value=
id=tstTstInput /
instead of this (the default if not using the options array):
div class=input textlabel for=tstTstInputTst Input/
labelinput name=data[tst][tst_input] type=text value=
id=tstTstInput //div
The same goes for the label and the input class as well. All that is
left for you then is to CSS-it to your hearts content...

Re: 2 column layout for $form-input() ?
I needed all 3 form elements to display in a single horizontal line
and here is my view template
?php echo $form-create('Data');?
fieldset
legend?php __('Add Data');?/legend
?php
echo $form-input('numeral' , array('label' = false ,
'type'='text','size' = '4',
'maxlength'='4' , 'style' = 'float: left; width: 30%;
display:inline;' , 'div'=''));
echo $form-input('pulldown1' , array('label' = false ,
'style' =
'float: left; width: 30%; display:inline;' , 'div'=''));
echo $form-input('pulldown2' , array('label' = false ,
'style' =
'float: left; width: 30%; display:inline;' , 'div'=''));
?
/fieldset
?php echo $form-end('Submit');?
and it did not work
It still displays one below the other
Any suggestions would be greatly helpful indeed

Re: 2 column layout for $form-input() ?
@peterm95018 and @Malcolm, how-to for CSS and HTML probably isn't an appropriate topic for the Cake group–unless of course you are having trouble getting the HTML output you want from the HTML helper, for example. A bit of Google searching will find you some great examples of form layout. From 4 years ago, PPK's examples still hold true: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/forms.html. If you want to have the basic code generated for you, use a tool like Wufoo (http:// wufoo.com/) to create a nice looking form, then export the CSS and HTML code using their tools. HTML Dog has a nice set of tutorials also: http://www.htmldog.com/guides/htmlbeginner/forms/, see the bottom of each tutorial for code samples.

Re: 2 column layout for $form-input() ?
Lance, Perhaps you misunderstand the question. Let me restate. Is it possible to use $form-input with $options to present form elements horizontally? Such that: label:input label:input label:input -- displayed in a row to be space efficient If yes, can someone post an example? If no, can someone confirm that this isn't possible out of the box? peterm --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: 2 column layout for $form-input() ?
Lance is correct, this is a CSS issue and not specific to CakePHP. If you look at the HTML being spit out by a $form-input is: divlabelinput If you're doing type=radio, then it's just multiple label/input inside those DIVs. To make everything horizontal, just make sure all the elements are display:inline. Now, the only problem is if you have too many options to fit on a line. Then you might get a line break where you don't want it. Unfortunately, I don't know of a solution for this other than to create your own form helper that overloads the original form helper. I've had to do this on a recent project and has worked well. On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 4:18 PM, peterm95018 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Lance, Perhaps you misunderstand the question. Let me restate.
