Adam, very nice tutorial and it really takes QuickForm to the next step forward. Thus why I want to use your extended class for my form generation. However, what do I do to use it with the HTML_QuickForm_Renderer_Tableless class to generate a tableless form. I normally use: require_once 'HTML/QuickForm.php'; require_once 'HTML/QuickForm/Renderer/Tableless.php'; $form =& new HTML_QuickForm(); $renderer =& new HTML_QuickForm_Renderer_Tableless(); // usual code, e.g. new form fields, rules, ... $form->accept($renderer); echo $renderer->toHtml(); and worked with QuickForm but not with QuickerForm. Would you please help me. Thanks, Nasser

  Nasser,
  
  Thank you for the feedback.
  
  Not long ago, I also wanted to use a custom renderer, and as I recall, I had to rework my approach a little to account for it.
  
  I'm going to have to go back and refresh my memory of what I did. The description I then come up with may be long enough that I'll post it on my personal blog and link to it from here.
  
  Are you under time pressure with this?

  Thanks Adama for the prompt reply.

  Ouch. I'll try to come up with something today or tomorrow, but I can't guarantee it. When you say "by the weekend" do you literally mean Friday, or do you have the weekend to work on it? As I recall, the changes are small, so once I tell you what I did, you should be able to adapt it pretty quickly to your situation.
  
  I hope this helps.
