You may want to look at customizing the .ftl templates Struts uses for
its jsp tags. It is a good tool to have, since you can create your
own themes or components that generate the HTML and Javascript you
need. For example, I am currently hand entering the JSCalendar code
for each of my date fields since the dojo s:datepicker in Struts2 is a
mess IMO. I plan to write my own datepicker.ftl to generate the code
I have written.

Hi,
How about client-side validation? I have the very same problem and
I've managed to solve it by using theme simple but then client-side
validation is gone. Anybody succeeded using side-by-side fields
without losing the client-side validation?
Thanks

I have finally accepted the orientation towards left-aligned labels

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.
