Hi,
I tried both but none seems to be working. Here's my view code:
<div id="formContainer">
<table>
{{=login_form.custom.begin}}
<tr>
<td
colspan='2'>{{=login_form.custom.widget.email}}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td
colspan='2'>{{=login_form.custom.widget.password}}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="#" id="flipToRecover"
class="flipLink">Forgot Password?</a></td>
<td>{{=login_form.custom.submit}}</td>
</tr>
{{=login_form.custom.end}}
</table>
Please suggest.
