Complex Layouting

Baschir Jaghoori
Hello,

I am currently learning Orbeon and XForms in general. I am trying to building a quite complex form with two columns and a "table like" layout inside each column - usually implemented with nested tables in the HTML world.

Is there a simple way to achieve this with Orbeon without too much inline HTML?

I found out that Chiba offers special appearance attributes for this, which are recognized by the Chiba Engine and transformed to nested HTML tables.

Columns:
<xf:group appearance="ca:verticalTable">
        <xf:group>column</xf:group>
        ...
</xf:group>

Table-Layout for labels and inputs:
<xf:group appearance="ca:verticalTable">
        <xf:input><xf:label/></xf:input>
        ...
</xf:group>


Many thanks in advance,
 
Baschir Jaghoori

Baschir,

Orbeon Forms doesn't have something like this built-in, but I assume
that with Chiba, this is done with XSLT. You could probably write an
XSLT transformation (i.e. your own "theme") which does something
similar. Instead of using appearance attributes, which will not be
propagated, you could match on class names, e.g.:

<xforms:group class="verticalTable">
