Up until now I've been building forms by hand, but making changes and new legal requirements mean that many now need updating. So I've been looking at the options for a more generic form builder/manager process. Adding to the process the need to rework things for Bootstrap3 and mobile working complicates things further. The first problem I've sort of hit is that all the tools seem to only build a vertical stack of fields, which is probably ideal for mobil phone entry, but is strange on a tablet or desktop. Does anybody know of a allows drag and drop of multiple fields per line? The forms being replaced are normally 'A4' pages and while there are options to create special fields which will use the whole line, that sort of defeats the object of the exercise. I'm currently quite deep inside Form Tools (formtools.org) as it at least uses Smarty, but I'm wondering if I've made the wrong choice since I need to combine with the rest of the framework, and Form Tools seems to follow it's own processes which don't fit well with integrating into other software. I'm probably not far off having a working package I can combine with the User management, themeing, Client management and other packages that I'm using in production, but I'd missed that it does not ACTUALLY have client side validation which is somewhat essential. Just flagging 'required' is not quite enough. So is there something I've missed that may be worth considering even at this stage of things? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
