well you are right about "reinventing the wheel" but i did this
because of the same problem - i thought this way i could costumize the
login form.
Anyways i saved everything ive done and replaced with the web2py auth
module.
Now....can u please tell me how can i costumize it ?
I need to incresse the size of them and align the horizontaly. Maybe
its easy. Just give me a start up. or a little example.
Thanks!
