No, formstyle is not an option with the FORM helper. The FORM helper simply generates the opening and closing form tags: >>> print FORM() <form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"></form> If you want to use the FORM helper, you'll have to figure out the appropriate HTML/CSS to generate the layout you want within the form tags. To see how SQLFORM generates table-based forms, you can look at the source code:
- Individual field input widgets and labels are generated in this for loop of the __init__ method: http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/gluon/sqlhtml.py#727 - The field widgets are then inserted into a table, divs, or unordered list (depending on the formstyle chosen) in the createform() method: http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/gluon/sqlhtml.py#904 Anthony On Thursday, July 7, 2011 2:09:30 PM UTC-4, Jim S wrote: > Hi > > Looking for help with form generation.
