Thank you Niphlod. I see what you mean. I'll try to convert my code in order to build a custom formstyle. However, I'll share my code with the web2py users group: maybe it could be useful to someone. About the menu, I have in my mind a simple change to the MENU helper that should semplify its customization client side (jquery and css) but I have to investigate more on this. Anyway, the menu complexity is due to lack of support for multilevel submenus. If we need a single level menu there's no need to modify the web2py code. For the sake of completeness, Foundation framework supports the multilevel menu, but its css breaks the web2py calendar css. It seems that every css framework has its own Achilles' Heel.
