We've modified the FreeMarker templates to put labels on top for
usability reasons.

Using something like Uni-Form instead of forcing label placement
might be a good idea.

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>
<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">
<span id="wwlbl_customerForm_firstName"
class="wwlbl">
<label for="customerForm_firstName" class="desc">
customer.firstName</label>
</span>
<span id="wwctrl_customerForm_firstName" class="wwctrl">
<input type="text" name="firstName" maxlength="255"
value=""
id="customerForm_firstName" class="text medium"/>
</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.
