[Catalyst] HTML::FormFu - how to manually control the rendering?

[kakimoto at tpg.com.au]

Hi, there,

 Thank you Dermot for your response.
I am not sure i see how introducing a class element for the element
would help.

For example, if we hand coded the form, we would have something like:


<form method="post" action="...">
   ...

    <h3>Accessories</h3>
    <table border="0">
      <tr>
           
            <td>
                   <input type="checkbox" name="battery"
value="battery">additional battery
            </td>

            <td>
                   <input type="checkbox" name="charger"
value="charger">spare charger
            </td>
       </tr>
       <tr>

            <td>
                   <input type="checkbox" name="screen_cleaner"
value="screen_cleaner">screen cleaner
            </td>

         <td>
                   <input type="checkbox" name="laptop_bag"
value="laptop_bag">laptop carrybag
            </td>

     </tr>

    </table>
 

    <input type="submit" name="submit" Value="Submit">
</form>



Question:   How do we have a form generated like the one above using
HTML::FormFu?

thank you.
