Many moons have passed since I last looked at this but if I remember
correctly I went for a class that was based on SQLFORM (currently
sitting in the back burner).
SQLFORM mixes processing and presentation very tightly, which is fine
for starters but you soon get to a point where you want to keep the
processing but have a completely different presentation.
My initial approach was the 'custom form' patch which is fine but
somewhat cumbersome.
The lastest is CSS based and it would allow easy form customization if
I can iron out some pending issues. I would love to hear your ideas,
specially about CSS.
