forms

Theming forms in Drupal is a challenge. Getting checkboxes and radios buttons into a table with other data can whip a small band of squirrels into a bird feeder frenzy. Add AHAH into the mix, and well, you've got grounds for a stiff drink and a nap. While I'm not sure I have done it "right" I'm posting some of my code here to give other people some grounds to fall into different pitfalls rather than mine.

So what I wanted was a table which had checkboxes for a series of files. Each checkbox would fire an AHAH request to populate data into another table. Seems easy enough- there are lots of examples of how to theme checkboxes into tables in Drupal.
