I got your screenshot.
Try this:
I have seen the screenshots. You have many options. I would try put
this in the view instead of {{=form}}
{{if form.errors:}}
error are {{=form.errors}}
{{pass}}
{{form.element('textarea')['_cols']=80}}
{{=form.custom.begin}}
<table>
<tr>
<td>{{=form.custom.widget.description}}</td>
<td>{{=form.custom.submit}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
{{=form.custom.end}}
