I have finally accepted the orientation towards left-aligned labels over
form fields - and find I do like it can see its easier for a user to take
in the form visually. Plus the style sheets allow the window to be resized
without breaking visually. CSS and visual presentation is not my forte,
but I'm trying to do this "right" and get better at it.
But occasionally there are times you need side-by-side fields - or the
form just gets too long. Appfuse does this in a few places - such as First
and Last name on the userForm.jsp and signup.jsp pages.
BTW, I am using Appfuse 2.0.1 with Struts2 and Hibernate. It seems to do
this by overriding the theme to "xhtml" from "css_xhtml". Then you put
your own list item tags around the two or three fields you want on the
same line. Like this:
<li>
<div>
<div class="left">
<s:textfield key="user.firstName" theme="xhtml"
required="true" cssClass="text medium"/>
</div>
<div>
<s:textfield key="user.lastName" theme="xhtml"
required="true" cssClass="text medium"/>
</div>
</div>
</li>
Sorry to come in so late on this one, but when I had to do this, I put
my own <li></li> around the fields I had to put side-by-side and then
set theme="simple" for each field inside it. I also had to create one
or two CSS classes to tidy up a couple of frayed edges for some field
types (eg cssClass="checkbox" is one I know I had to do) but that wasn't
too hard to do using Firebug to guide me.
