RE: [PEAR-DEV] HTML_QuickForm

You can do this with the setElementTemplate() method, e.g.: $form->setElementTemplate('<TR><TD>{label}:</TD><TD>{element}</TD></TR>'); Also check out the setHeaderTemplate() and setFormTemplate() methods and the _headerTemplate, _elementTemplate, and _formTemplate variables in the HTML_QuickForm class. -dave > -----Original Message----- > From: Tony Bibbs [mailto:tony@tonybibbs.com] > Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 10:40 AM > To: PEAR Development > Subject: [PEAR-DEV] HTML_QuickForm > > > Has there been any thought to allowing the HTML_QuickForm to > allow the use > of PEAR's HTML template system? > > What I am getting at is QuickForm appears to have 95% of what I > want but I > still want to allow people to control the layout of the form.
