James, you’re either looking for HTML_QuickForm_Controller or you need to simulate the paging yourself (sessions are then your friends).

Thanks alot Mark.
I notice that I made a mistake by calling $form->toHtml(). Once I use $renderer->toHtml(), everything work perfectly.
Thanks Mark for the prompt reply
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2008!

Hi Mark,
I faced the same problem as Twyst by following the PEAR manual stated in your reply.
The following are the code I used to customized my QuickForm renderer.
$form =& new HTML_QuickForm();
$renderer =& new HTML_QuickForm_Renderer_Tableless();
$form->accept($renderer);
echo $renderer->toHtml();
Did I miss out some setting. Thanks in advance for helping.

Twyst, you need to define your own HTML_QuickForm_Action_Display class that takes care of using the tableless renderer. The usage of this renderer is described in the PEAR manual. Thanks for asking this; I'll consider this point for the promised example code.

I’m trying to set this up, exactly the way that you’re explaining here – but with QF 3.2.10, QF_Controller 1.0.8, DHTMLRulesTableless 0.3.3, and Renderer_Tableless, I get the original layout – NOT the tableless layout. I’m not getting any errors, mind you – it’s like it’s just passing it straight through. Unless there’s something I’m completely missing?

Harold, no, there is currently no complete example available. Do you need any help on this topic? Then just reply here or send me an email.

I have added an item to my TODO list about adding an example.

Don’t you have a example running?
