[appfuse-user] form labelposition=left

[wkbutler]

Hi - 
I'm starting with a fresh AppFuse2 install and am trying to figure out the
page layouts.

In form content (being rendered by the s:form tag),  I would like the labels
to appear on the left of the form fields.  I am using the css_xhtml layout
templates.

The s:form doc says that using 
   label="label.name"  labelposition="left"
will accomplish this.  

I found that doing this caused bad HTML, which I corrected by modifying
template/css_xhtml/controlheader.ftl to add the else block shown below,
around line 11:

<#if parameters.label?exists>
    <#if parameters.labelposition?default("top") == 'top'>
    <div <#rt/>
        <#else>
        &lt;span <#rt/>
    </#if>

Does this appear to be a bug in the template to anyone else?

Fixing this did get the label on the left and the control (text, etc.) on
the right, but it's not uniform.  I want the form controls to be aligned
with each other.  The HTML looks like

<ul>
    <li id="wwgrp_customerForm_firstName" class="wwgrp">        
        &lt;span         id="wwlbl_customerForm_firstName" class="wwlbl">
            <label for="customerForm_firstName" class="desc">           
customer.firstName</label>        
        &lt;/span> 
        &lt;span id="wwctrl_customerForm_firstName" class="wwctrl">
            <input type="text" name="firstName" maxlength="255" value=""
id="customerForm_firstName" class="text medium"/>
        &lt;/span> 
    </li>

</ul>


Has anyone figured out how to achieve vertical alignment of labels-to-lables
and controls-to-controls?   I am otherwise (begrudgingly) switching to use
tables.
