Re: cakephp 1.2 form helper,how to create() form without ugly inline css
The items within the form need to be contained in any block element to be validate as Strict. However, why is form helper inserting a SECOND fieldset and input (both are hidden): fieldset style=display:none;input type=hidden name=_method value=POST //fieldset On Apr 12, 10:41 pm, dzojntywole!

Re: cakephp 1.2 form
Thanks for the answer, but I'd love a little more guidance myself.
Can you answer OP's Q1, which is the difference between $ajax-form
and $ajax-submit?
Also, please explain the $this-render('view','ajax'); line of code?
There is nothing in the API (http://api.cakephp.org/1.2/
class_controller.html#90046e6b62c91452a987c9573372c2ac) about a
special 'ajax' value as a layout option. What does this do? Does it
render no layout if the request was ajax? How does the action know
whether an incoming request is coming from an Ajax source or not?

should one of them be used exclusively? or do they need to be used in
a pair (like $form-create and $form-end)?
Now it works nice when theformvalidation fails. But when the

the div. The funny thing is that somehow the requesthanler doesn't
know it's anajaxrequest. It renders the content in the default
layout.
I'm obviously missing the point somewhere
Q2) how can you make sure thatformstays in the div, but when it
validates you get a non-ajaxredirect?

Re: CakePHP 1.2 - Form select
You'll need to provide more information about what you're doing and what is happening. Many of us are very successfully using select boxes in our forms with Cake 1.2, so it seems to be something specific to your environment or your code.
