Hi, I can write form with jQuery Form plugin and FGL like this:
Code:
/** Controller **/
function ajaxcreate()
{
$this->output->enable_profiler(FALSE);
$this->head->js('jquery.form.js');
$formhtml = $this->form->open(FALSE, 'ajaxform')
->fieldset('Info')
->text('title', 'Title', 'required|trim|alpha_dash|max_length[20]')
->text('description', 'Description', 'max_length[255]')
->submit('Submit', 'submit')
->reset('Reset', 'reset')
->get();
if ($this->form->valid){
echo "Validated form is being processed.";
$data = $this->form->get_posted();
} elseif ($this->form->_posted){
echo "Form is invalid.";
echo $this->form->errors;
} else {
$this->_display('ajaxform', array('form' =>$formhtml));
}
}Code:
/** View file **/
<div id="form-message"></div>
<?php if (! empty($form)) echo $form; ?>
[removed]
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#ajaxform").ajaxForm({target: "#form-message"});
});

how do you break a form into parts? Or perhaps that is not necessary? Here is my goal:
I am making a sales order form.
At the top I want to show fields like Bill To, Ship To, Salesperson, Ship Date, etc…
In the middle I show a table whose headings are QTY, PRODUCT, UNIT PRICE, and AMOUNT. Each row in the table represents a “sales order item”. ( Assume the table does NOT have any form elements)
After the table and some other HTML, I want to show another form field for Notes and finally the form Submit button. Can I do this with a single form? Or do I need multiple forms?
Thanks for any advice.

You can use ->html() method...

Yes. Maybe something like this. Load a view partial into the ->html() method..
Code:
->html( $this->load->view('salesorder_items', $data, true) )Form Generation Library - El Forum - 02-24-2010

I did the exact same thing in one of my recent projects. I inserted a delimiter to the form with
Code:
$this->form->html('--#--')(just use some symbols you will not use in your regular form output. Then I put the output of the form HTML in a variable and exploded this with
Code:
$form = $this->form->get();
$form = explode('--#--', $form);Then you can use the individual form parts with $form[0] and so on and write them to individual areas in the view file.

It works for me, but I don't use JQuery or Javascript very much (yet). How do I start learning what is possible with this plugin?

I propose a tiny code change.
In the col() function change
Code:
$width = ($width) ? $width.'px' : 'auto';Code:
$width = ($width) ? $width : 'auto';It's more flexible. Somebody like me (when making "fluid" design) may want to set for example
->col('30%')
or even
->col('13em')

Hello Frank,
I am very glad, that I have found this great library! Thanks for that!
A little problem:
Code:
->open('settings','color_picker','id="test"')brings
Code:
<form action="http://mydomain.de/settings" cd="test" method="post">I miss the second parameter, and the third parameter starts with cd=... instead of id=...
"c" is the first letter of the second parameter. It seemes if something is wrong with function _make_info
Best regards
Bernd
