i dont quite follow. Here is my code
mtgdb.define_table(
'thoughts',
Field('description','text'),
Field('author','string'),
Field('votes','integer')
)
ideaform = SQLFORM(mtgdb.thoughts, fields=['description'],
submit_button='Post', formstyle='divs')
if ideaform.accepts(request.vars, session):
response.flash = 'form accepted'
elif ideaform.errors:
response.flash = 'form has errors'
else:
response.flash = 'please fill out the form'
it creates a form that takes up approximately 3" of the avialiabe
real estate. Because teh description field is of type text and teh
"Post" button is underneath it. What I want is something like this:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
|
| POST
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
I found a post with custom widgets and something even more complex
with the formstyle stuff, but have to believe there is a simpler way.
