AW: horizontal checkbox layout

Hi Al,

Just a wild guess, I haven't tested it:
Cakephp puts form elements in a div which is a block element. So you have to define a class which you add to the array of your $form->input, which defines them as a inline element.

echo $form->input('name',array('type'=>'checkbox', 'class' => 'iaminline'));

Hope that helps

Anja

Betreff: horizontal checkbox layout

I hope someone can help, I'm trying to make multiple select checkboxes go horizontal instead of vertical.

I use this in my view, which results in a 5-selection set of checkboxes.
echo $form->input('Semester', array('type'=> 'checkbox', 'multiple'=>'checkbox'));

I can use it just fine, it updates the database and so forth.

What I'd like to do though is have the checkboxes go from left to right, instead of vertical.

I thought I could do this by assigning a float:left to the class of the input, but it doesn't seem to work. Upon closer inspection it looks like the default cake.generic.css already is floating checkboxes left. So I'm a little lost.

Is this something so simple I can't find the answer because everyone knows how to do it?

Thanks!
