XWiki Forms (xform / xformInline) are general usage purpose CSS classes that need to be used in order to have a consistent view of forms across XWiki.

  • Forms Layout Type:
    • Vertical Layout (xform): uses a dl-dt-dd structure 
    • Inline Layout (xformInline)

This classes implementation has been voted at [Vote] [Standards] Forms: Usage + Documentation page to XWiki.org and implemented in XSCOLIBRI-266

Usage

The CSS classes have as parent the .xformInline class. This is supposed to be used on the form tag, but if the styling is done inside dynamically generated structures it can be used on other elements, like divs, as long as the element remains the parent for the other form components. 

 Tag Type   Size  Classes RequiredOptional      Container       Usage
form                 .xformInline.half, .third                Container for the form controls
