http://github.com/eastmedia/dl_forms

== DESCRIPTION:

Generates form helper methods that use Dictionary List (DL) HTML tags. They mostly just wrap Rails' default methods with DL/DT/DD tags. With the correct CSS they look great and are incredibly helpful for fast form-building.

These helper methods will also handle error messages at the field level. Also looks great when styled properly.

== REQUIREMENTS:

  • Rails >= 2.0.1

== INSTALL:

Put the dl_forms.rb file in your app/helpers directory.

In your app/helpers/application_helper.rb:
