Using Form Builder 0.3
I want to use a table based layout for my form, isn´t that supported anymore in Form Builder? I think it used to, but I might be wrong... I think a table based layout for forms is a lot easier to handle than a css based layout.

Re: Form Builder: table based layout?
Table based layouts maybe easier to handle than and CSS driven layouts, but they are a thing of the past. If you REALLY desire table based layouts you can install a previous version of FormBuilder which will include the table based option, or modify the form template.

Thanks for our answer. It´s wierd why not to support it when it is obviously easier to handle than a css layout. For instance: with a css layout I have to fix the widths of the labels whereas a table layout would have handled that.savagekabbage wrote: Table based layouts maybe easier to handle than and CSS driven layouts, but they are a thing of the past.

Re: Form Builder: table based layout?
You should be able to copy the template from a previous version of formbuilder and use it. Which should provide a table.
However, SavageKabbage is correct, it's quite easy to style formbuilder forms with css.
I just gave all of the fields the same css class (field). then did things like this in my stylesheet:
.formbuilderform .field {
...
}
.formbuilderform .field label {
...
}
.formbuilderform .field input {
...
}
As well, I gave all static text fields the css class 'statictext', and combobox groups the css class 'cbgroup'.
and then styled them similarly.

I'd say it's similar to cars... Why switch to Fuel Injection when most mechanics could easily work on a Carburetor?RazorMedia wrote: Thanks for our answer.

Please tell me why a css based layout is superior to a table based layout in this case.I'd say it's similar to cars... Why switch to Fuel Injection when most mechanics could easily work on a Carburetor?
