Radio buttons and check boxes orientation

[Johann Spies]

How do I get radio buttons (and check boxes) to show up horizontally
in stead of vertically?

e.g.

Yes {} No {}

in stead of

Yes {}
No {}

Regards
Johann

Find out the id or class of the radio buttons. Use firebug to see, or
look at the "CSS Conventions" section of the doc. You may need to
resort to a custom form, but I doubt it. Then set the css attribute:
display: inline; should probably do it. You may need to float the
first one ... not sure about that, though.

Thanks. Firebug showed me that SQLForm is using a table to do it. I
will probably have to make a custom form.

I find myself mostly defaulting to custom forms for anything that an
end user sees. For internal app admin stuff, I am usually happy with
whatever web2py produces automatically.

Try this:
db.define_table('test',
Field('answer',default='Maybe'))
db.test.answer.requires = IS_IN_SET(['Yes','No','Maybe'])
def horizontal_radios(f,v):
table = SQLFORM.widgets.radio.widget(f,v)
rows = table.elements('tr')
table.components = []
table.append([row.elements('td') for row in rows])
return table
db.test.answer.widget = horizontal_radios

CheckboxesWidget can arrange check boxes horizontally.
you can specify the colum number by 'cols'

Try this:
db.define_table('test',

Field('children'))
db.test.children.requires =
IS_IN_SET(['boy1','girl1','boy2','girl2','boy3','girl3','boy4','girl4'])
def horizontal_checkbox(f,v):
return SQLFORM.widgets.checkboxes.widget(f,v, cols=2)

db.test.children.widget = horizontal_checkbox

chechboxes are shown in 4 rows and every row contains 2 columns.
