It appears that :label_position is disabled by :wrapper=>:trtd

This upset Forme rather a lot:

mainform = Forme.form(ord, {:action=>'/save'}, { :labeler=>:explicit}) do |f|
f.input(status)
f.input(:invoicedate, :label=>"Invoice Date", :wrapper=>:trtd )
f.button(:value=>'Save Changes')
end

Setting the :trtd wrapper on just the :invoicedate caused Forme to generate all the non-trtd inputs, then create a table, then output the

tag, the :invoicedate input, some hidden tags, then , and then

The :trtd wrapper in general has been extremely recalcitrant. It seems to have an implicit

command, despite its name, but where the

tag appears is quite unpredictable. More problematic, I have absolutely no idea how to set attributes on it.

I would expect, if

Forme.form(ord, {:action=>'/save'}, { :labeler=>:explicit, :wrapper=>:trtd}) do
blah blah
end

wraps the form in a table, that

Forme.form(ord, {:action=>'/save'}, { :labeler=>:explicit, :wrapper=>:trtd, :wrapper_attr=>{:class=>”tablelist”}}) do
blah blah
end

would attach the wrapper attributes to that which wrapped the form, which is the table. This does not appear to be the case. The :wrapper_attr hash here appears to be ignored. If I use :wrapper_attr on an individual input, it attaches to the

tag. I would expect it to attach to the is admittedly probably more useful.

Forme.form(ord, {:action=>'/save'}, { :labeler=>:explicit, :wrapper=>:trtd}) do
blah blah
f.subform(:container, :inputs=>[:name])
end

results in

blahblah

, as being the direct parent of the input, but the

When using the :wrapper=>:trtd, you need to either use
:inputs_wrapper=>:table and wrap the input calls in an inputs block (as the
demo does), or you have to create the table manually via tag(:table){...}
or something similar.

I'm not sure how you are trying to view the source, but if you don't use
:inputs_wrapper=>:table, nothing in Forme will generate a table tag. I can
only guess that you are using something where the browser is trying to
recreate the source from the DOM, instead of just providing the source as
given by the server.

The trtd wrapper always puts the label on the left table cell and the other
tags in the right table cell if there is only one label. This is by design.

If you are only using a table for alignment purposes, you can use the
explicit labeler with some CSS that sets a min-width for the label tags.
That's generally considered the more semantic way to do it, and should
work fine on modern browsers.

Thanks,
Jeremy
