I have a form that has a HTML field (Principal #2) in the row below I have 2 fields on the same row when I do this it screws up the formatting of the form. Please take a look at the example I pulled out of the rendered html from the page.

	Principal #2
	Label 1			Label 2

You might not be able to see the code as it will probably render so here is the code with the "<" replaced with "[" and ">" with "]". I added the border=1 to outline the cells.

[table width="100%" border="1"]
    [tr id=""]
        [td id="" valign="middle"]
            [a id="" href=""]
                [img style="border-width: 0px;" src="/DesktopModules/Dynamic%20Forms/editsettings.gif" /]
            [/a]
        [/td]
        [td class="NormalBold" width="100%" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap" colspan="3"]
            [div class="subhead" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(96, 96, 96); padding-top: 3px; width: 100%;"]Principal #2[/div]
            [input id="" type="hidden" value="" name="" /]
        [/td]
    [/tr]
    [tr id=""]
        [td id="" valign="middle"][/td]
        [td class="NormalBold" width="100" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap" align="right"]Label 1[/td]
        [td]
            [table]
                [tr]
                    [td]
                        [input id="" class="NormalTextBox" type="text" style="width: 200px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 160);" maxlength="50" name="" /]
                    [/td]
                [/tr]
            [/table]
        [/td]
        [td id="" valign="middle"][/td]
        [td class="NormalBold" width="100" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap" align="right"]Label 2[/td]
        [td]
            [table]
                [tr]
                    [td]
                        [input id="" class="NormalTextBox" type="text" style="width: 200px;" maxlength="50" name="" /]
                    [/td]
                [/tr]
            [/table]
        [/td]
    [/tr]
[/table]

Is there anyway to remedy this? I doubt this can be fixed without a major revamping of the code, so can we expect this is next release?

If you could give us the ability to define a table, rows, columns and colspan, rowspan, that would fix almost all of the formatting problems.

Thanks,

Jon

Hmmm... I don't think it would require much change to code. I just copied the code to an HTML editor and then change "colspan=3" to be "colspan=4" and this fixed the issue. Ill see if we can make this a setting you can specify for html fields. This is on line 1116 if you need to change the code, otherwise we should be able to add it in the next build. I really cannot find a problem with adding to the colspan, each time I add to the colspan an extra number it doesn't appear to be affecting the look. Another option would just be to set it to 5 or 6 and then it should cover most scenarios (at least as a quick fix until the admin can specify it)

That is precisely the problem. So what needs to happen is the row or rows above /below need to be recalculated to accommodate the additional columns. This will allow the html field to span the entire table as rows are added.

Chad,

Thanks for the response. Actually, I think changing the colspan (in this case) to 5 instead of 4 would fix the problem - because the default colspan is 3 and when another row is added it actually adds 2 more rows for each field added to the above row (1 TD for the label and 1 TD with a [table] inside for the control (i.e. textbox)).

BTW - I don't have the source code to make the change (if you want to send that to me , I would be happy to make the change).

Thanks,

Jon
