How do I change field positions in a form?

[Ed Valentine]

I have have not been able to find a single example of exact
positioning fields in TG2. I want to setup a form like:

First Name: _________________ MI _ Last Name
______________________
Address: ____________________________________ City:
______________________ State: __
(Check Box) Shipping Address:
.
.
.

I have tried to use CSS and the ID of the specific field but it is not
working.
Please point me to any documentation or examples using the current
level of TG.

Thanks for any suggestions.

If you need full customization, define your own template. Take a look
at the TW forms templates to see how to properly invoke child widgets.
Also remember that you can use "display_child" with a name as well as
an index.

I have been working with doing a specific CSS file for the page. I can
set parameters for the input fields using the ID as in;

#(field id as shown in Firebug)
color:red;
position: absolute; left:50%
}

but this does not seem to work for the label. I just want the fields
in the same order but across the page, not all on the left side.

Suggestions?

Have a look at http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/RoughDocs/NicerForms
The recipes are for TG1 + TG widgets, but you can do the same with TG2 +
ToscaWidgets.
