Add form elements dynamically with ajax about former HOT 6 CLOSED

Well that's actually more of a Bootstrap problem than a Former one : Former automatically creates the correct Bootstrap syntax to have fields all in the right places but in Javascript I don't really know how you could make them render properly without using all the control group syntax : http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#forms

from former.

I see, but what happens is that without creating the Former::open() the group syntax is not created for the field. The output for the following code is:

{{Former::mini_text('visa_value[]','visa_value')->prepend('$')->required()->class('span9')->value($visa_option->value)}}

    <label for="visa_value[]">Valor<sup>*</sup></label>
    <input class="span9" required="true" type="text" name="visa_value[]" id="visa_value[]">

when was supposed to be:

<div class="control-group required">
  <label for="visa_value[]" class="control-label">Valor<sup>*</sup></label>
  <div class="controls">
    <div class="input-prepend">
      <span class="add-on">$</span>
      <input class="span9" required="true" type="text" name="visa_value[]" id="visa_value[]">
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

That's why I thought could be a Former issue for not generating the control group syntax.

Now that's normal, by default fields outside of a form are considered inline because most of the time when you put fields outside of forms it's in random places, tables and stuff. This is kind of one of the tricky parts of Former.

I don't think there's a way to add the control group for a specific field outside of a form. You can do the opposite (remove the group with ->raw) but there's nothing yet to add a group where there isn't supposed to be one. Maybe if you have a suggestion of way to handle that I could implement it ?

That's right, make sense.

I can try to think in a best way, but the way that just poped in my mind,
could be something the same way that you define the size of the field, for
example

Former::mini_text(...);

You can set also if you want in a group control, something like:

Former::grouped_mini_text(...);

Former::group_mini_text(...);

Or any other word that make more sense.

Hm this is not bad, I'll think about it see what I come up with.

OK, thanks
