 * I will add a short code attribute for more table formatting flexibility.
 * Forms have multiple rows by using more than one short code to make up the form.
 * As you know, if you are using only 1 short code to produce the entire form, the
   form attribute is form=”1,??” where ?? is insert, update or search.
 * When using more than one short code, make the FIRST form attribute form=”2,??”
   and make the LAST form attribute be form=”3,??” (where ?? is insert, update or
   search).
 * In between the first and last short code you can have as many more short codes
   as you need with the form attribute just form=”??” with no numeric designation.
 * Once coded, it is informative to view the HTML source and see the actual form
   tags and hidden tags that ABASE produces to make sure it all works properly.

 * I have added a notable=”1″ attribute that will not output the beginning and ending
   TABLE tag for the short code. With notable=”1″ you need to add the beginning 
   and ending TABLE tags manually which means you can define a new table class that
   specifies column colors as you like.
 * You will need to install ABASE upgrade 2.1.3 or higher for the notable=”1″ attribute
   to work.
 * With the upgrade you can specify a class using STYLE tags. Then specify the class
   name in the TABLE tag. The ABASE short code will only produce the TR rows when
   notable=”1″, not the enclosing TABLE tags. With both notable=”1″ and notitle=”
   1″ you the user must also specify the title row manually.
 * See [http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/evenodd.en.html](http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/evenodd.en.html)
   for examples on defining a class withing STYLE tags and see how to set column
   colors by defining a class. View the source of this page to see exactly how the
   class is defined within a STYLE tag.
 * It works to specify a new table class within style tags immediately above the
   ABASE short code. Make sure you are in TEXT mode instead of VISUAL mode when 
   updating the page.

 * thanks for answering. It was very helpful.
    Now i have trouble with form. How
   can i add select list to form that inserts data to database? I understand that
   I can show link in the table with rink, but how can I use it to show 2 or 3 links
   in one row?

 * kairit a select listed is added now when your table column is a foreign key into
   another table. A drop-down menu will appear for that column in insert and update
   forms with the first column after the index as the select options. I will add
   an example in the FAQ section. If you would like more help with this now, post
   back here or as a new issue that needs to be resolved.
 * There is an alink attribute which can be used in a way similar to how rlink is
   used. What other types of links would you like to be able to specify for a column?
   I can think of a couple but post back what you had in mind and I can see if I
   can add it. I will add an example in the FAQ section on the alink attribute also.
