Like the title says, I don't like the html that the form-helper
outputs.
So I was wondering if and how I could take part into the developing of
CakePHP.
Because I would like to improve the html-outputs of some of the
helpers and stuff.
For example, in the blog-application the form-helper creates this html
for adding a post:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<form id="PostAddForm" method="post" action="/cake2/posts/add">
<fieldset style="display:none;">
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="POST" />
</fieldset>
<div class="input text">
<label for="PostTitle">Title</label>
<input name="data[Post][title]" type="text" maxlength="50"
value=""
id="PostTitle" />
</div>
<div class="input textarea">
<label for="PostBody">Body</label>
<textarea name="data[Post][body]" cols="30" rows="6"
id="PostBody"
></textarea>
</div>
<div class="submit">
<input type="submit" value="Save Post" />
</div>
</form>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had put the indents there myself cause Cake screws that up as well.
Anyway, I would like to change that html to this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<form id="PostAddForm" method="post" action="/cake2/posts/add">
<fieldset>
<legend>Add post</legend>
<ul>
<li>
<label for="PostTitle">Title</label>
<input name="data[Post][title]" type="text"
maxlength="50"
value="" id="PostTitle" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="PostBody">Body</label>
<textarea name="data[Post][body]" cols="30"
rows="6" id="PostBody"
></textarea>
</li>
<li>
<input type="hidden" name="_method"
value="POST" />
<input type="submit" value="Save Post" />
</li>
</ul>
</fieldset>
</form>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything has to be inside a fieldset, that's proper html.
And since you always put all the inputs in a list-like layout, it's
most logical to put it inside a list.
Everything else can be arranged with css, but this is (I think) the
most proper html for this.
And I don't like divits, you know, that everything has to be in divs.
There are more useful elements beside divs. :P
Now I could edit this in my copy of Cake, but that would mean I'd have
to edit it again with every update.
That's why I would like to edit this in the real Cake project.
What do you think?
