For Cake 1.3, refer to this guide on the Form helper: http://book.cakephp.org/#!/view/1383/Form
You can use the div => false option in nearly every form element. If you want to place an input and the submit button side by side, I think you have to make the div surrounding the input field (or as many as you need) an inline element display: inline; , with a float: left and the submit button the same. But I'm not an expert in CSS ;) On 11 Nov., 17:44, "Yves S. Garret" <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, I think this might help me (I hope).
