it is indeed possible without tables. the example you sited doesnt use them either. you'll be able to use output from form helper to achieve this although can be a bit tricky to support old browsers. tables are for display of tabular data not for styling. the styles already defined in cake.generic.css will get you most of the way there although you'll need to study the style sheet in http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/milk/ to tighten it all up. mikek -- Mike Karthauser Managing Director - Brightstorm Ltd Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.brightstorm.co.uk Tel: 07939 252144 (mobile) Fax: 0870 1320560 Address: 1 Brewery Court, North Street, Bristol, BS3 1JS Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
