Jorge, you're referring to very specifics needs here, what I want from
Richard is a simple (as the actual one) template that gives designer
the freedom to customize it using css, that means for example using TH
as suggested by Richard, I don't think we need a brand new template,
just tweaking it so that it's completely usable from a designer and
with css.
Regarding your problem of moving things on the same row, that's the
freedom display_field_for gives you, for example:
class CityForm(TableForm):
fields = CityFields()
template = """
<tr>
<td>City: ${display_field_for("city")}</td>
<td>State: ${display_field_for("state")}</td>
</tr>
"""
that's a dump example but I think you get the point, we can't address
this on our widgets since their are ready for a generic use, but as you
can see customizing the template to fits your needs is now pretty easy
to do. ;-)
Ciao
Michele
