My post “Combining DHTMLRules, tableless layout and multiple page forms with HTML_QuickForm” led to several inqueries about why the layout with the shown code snippets still uses tables. The answer is: One needs to tell HTML_QuickForm_Controller (QFC) about the usage of another renderer.

Structures_DataGrid 0.8.0 released
Saturday, December 16th, 2006Today Olivier and I have “flooded” PEAR with new releases of Structures_DataGrid and its 19 subpackages. The reason for releasing all packages was a license change from PHP License 2.0 to New BSD license which is more flexible and compatible to other open source licenses.
The new major feature of the new release is streaming support. Until this release, it was impossible to use Structures_DataGrid for converting a huge database table into, for example, a CSV file. We offer now the possibility to fetch the data in chunks of, by default, 500 records from the database and to write these records into the CSV file, followed by the next chunk of 500 records, and so on.
New Tableless renderer releases
Monday, December 4th, 2006New releases of both HTML_QuickForm_Renderer_Tableless (0.4.3) and HTML_QuickForm_DHTMLRulesTableless (0.2.3) are available. The renderer had only a little stylesheet change to achieve layout compatibility with Windows Internet Explorer 7. The DHTMLRules got support for multiple error messages (needed for groups), and there were some bug fixes.
