Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: ad_form select fields howto

Is it possible that ad_form is used somewhere so I can load a module and see how it actually works. It must be a neat thing that I should be using, but I don't think there are enough docs out there to explain it to me.

Although Jon's doc talks about the tcl page use of ad_form, what about the adp use? What about files other than these which affect the display?

Did I hear Don right that this is basically the template system form builder wrapped up in a nicer package?

If someone directs me to complete examples that work, I promise to use ad_form in my future projects! :)

The survey packages make extensive use of ad_form, so it would be your best bet for working examples.

And yes, you did hear correctly, ad_form is a nice wrapper around the template system form builder.  If necessary, you can intermix the template system form-builder commands with ad_form.
