enhancement request apex 4.0: fieldset

WilliFirulaisMar 8 2008 — edited Mar 11 2008
Hallo,

First thx a lot for the 3.1 version. The new features are realy great. I love the interactive report - showing this to the boss brings a lot of sympathy for apex - it's possible to implemnent this in just a view minutes and ready to play around with nubers. Realy cool - thx a lot.

For forms there are a common html element called "fieldset" that I am missing since ever in apex.

A the item level in the form there may be a item where you can set to which fieldset your item belongs. The rendering process is going throuhg the items as defined by the sequence and should put items into a fieldset as long they fieldset of the following item is the same as the fieldset of the current item. Are e.g. two items set to the same fieldset but not in following order there should be a visual fieldset for every break.

* Definition:
field1 fieldset1
field2 fieldset1
field3 fieldset2
field4 fieldset1
field5 fieldset1

* This may look like this:
- fieldset1 --|
| field1      |
| field2      |
|-------------|

|- fieldset2 -|
| field3      |
|-------------|

|- fieldset1 -|
| fieldset1   |
| field4      |
| field5      |
|-------------|
The fieldsets as such can be shared components like with a parent element.
Using the parent element you can nest your fieldsets.
A special region "Fieldset Region" is needed where the items within a region are not layed out within tablecells.

I know currently the regions are used to group items but using fieldsets within your region would allow to make better looking pages when having a lot of items in the forms.

Thx a lot for this great product and keep on going
Willi
