I know there has been discussion about this in the  past, but I can't
see a clear answer to my questions from them. I see a need for a simple
ability to create single forms with css styles only. My current need is
to show a horizontal query bar with drop-downs that send a query to the
server. In this case I do not want any titles to show. I looked at using
the position attribute to do this, but the table format screws things
up. I also want to be able to take advantage of other widget special
features, such as lookup or dates, without having tables involved.

I was just thinking of creating a new form type, "css", that cycles thru
the fields and does not do anything with tables and ignores the title if
it is empty.

Is this too simplistic? A bad idea? Won't be difficult to put together.
