Form Formatting

Formatting the form provides visual cues which draw attention to different sections of the form, this improves the User Interface by helping the user perform the task more efficiently, and helps deliver a better user experience..

Applying formatting to Form Master is done using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and applying Class Name Rules to elements of the form. The logical place for the Style Rules is in Portal.css since this Stylesheet is specific to earh Portal, but the Rules can be in any Stylesheet which get loaded with the Form.

Class names can be applied to the elements below:

Outer Table
Inner Table
Individual Table Cell within the Inner Table
Labels for each individual fields in the form
Individual fields within the form

The presentations below will show where and how the Class Names can be applied, and finally, the Class Name definitions.
