I have recently purchased RSform!Pro 1.1.0 rev 17 (with Joomla 1.5.5) and am trying to produce a very simple form.

I want to have three Drop-down components (day;month;year) next to each other on one single row, in order to construct a simple Date of Birth row.

I have managed to create the three different fields, but cannot manage to place them in one row.

I have selected the \"Inline Form Layout\".

Under the FAQ questions page (www.rsjoomla.com/index.php/RSform-FAQs/) I have found an article which states that I have to input some specific html code into the \"field style\", BUT other than Items, Additional Attributes, Description and Validation Message I cannot input any html code.

I would be grateful if anybody could help me out.

Regards

You'll need to turn off the auto generate function on the form layout tab. Now you can edit your html; I like to copy it and edit in DreamWeaver. But however you edit it you need to do something like.

<tr>
<td>Date : {month:body} {day:body} {year:body}</td>
</tr>

If you want your validation, captions and descriptions add them as needed.

Good Luck

Hey I have a similar query....

this is my layout code....


<tr>
<td>{DateD:caption} (*)</td>
<td>{DateD:body}{DateD:validation}
{DateD:description}
{DateM:body}{DateM:validation}
{DateM:description}
{DateY:body}{DateY:validation}
{DateY:description}</td>
</tr>


but for some reason the first drop down menu is out of line with the other two... can u see why?

hmmm, not sure why that doesn't render correctly

One thing you could try is adding a height to the <tr height=\"20px\">

<tr height=\"20px\">
<td>{DateD:caption} (*)</td>
<td>{DateD:body}{DateD:validation}{DateD:description}
{DateM:body}{DateM:validation}{DateM:description}
{DateY:body}{DateY:validation}{DateY:description}</td>
</tr>

Let me know if this helps

OK, try this.

in the additional attributes of each component add the following

style=\"float:left\"

Hope that works.
Let us know.
