That's the way I do it - well, I use vi to make my forms, but basically,
yeah, the forms are made as plain html and not built by CGI.pm - if
that's what you were asking.
I generally have something like this:
<form ...>
<table ...>
...
<input type="text" name="name"
value="<tmpl_var name='name' escape='html'>">
<tmpl_if error_name><span class="error"><tmpl_var error_name></span></tmpl_if>
...
</table>
</form>
The single quotes in the tmpl_var parameters are so that vi's syntax
highlighting doesn't get confused.
In the case of checkboxes or select boxes, I have this:
<select name="items">
<any default entry here>
<tmpl_loop name="items">
<option value="<tmpl_var id>" <tmpl_if selected>selected</tmpl_if>><tmpl_var
value></option>
</tmpl_loop>
</select>
<tmpl_loop name="items">
<input type="checkbox" name="items" value="<tmpl_var id>" <tmpl_if
selected>checked</tmpl_if>> <tmpl_var value>
</tmpl_loop>
That works for multiselect lists as well.
The perl has to take care of setting selected for the correct entries,
but that's a small thing.
$ids = "10:3";
@list = map {
$_->{'selected'} = ($ids =~ /(?:^|:)$_->{'id'}(?::|$)/);
$_;
} @list;
