Furthermore it will allow for layout definitions using fieldsets and YUI grids: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/214/ An example using a fieldset and two columns: class MyForm(WTForm): name1 = forms.CharField(label="Name (1)") email1 = forms.EmailField(label="E-mail address (1)") name2 = forms.CharField(label="Name (2)") email2 = forms.EmailField(label="E-mail address (2)") class Meta: layout = (Fieldset("Person details", Columns(("name1", "name2"), ("email1", "email2"))),) This will result in the form layout of: +-[ Person details ]----------------------------------+ |+-------------------------+-------------------------+| || Name (1) | E-mail address (1) || || [_____________________] | [_____________________] || || | || || Name (2) | E-mail address (2) || || [_____________________] | [_____________________] || |+-------------------------+-------------------------+| +-----------------------------------------------------+ -- Christian Joergensen | Linux, programming or web consultancy http://www.razor.dk | Visit us at: http://www.gmta.info
