First just want to say so far I'm pretty darn amazed with Drupal. I have a few how-to/can I questions:

1) I have the taxonomy context module installed and its working great, one thing I want to do is from a term page (e.g http://drupal.mysite.com/?q=taxonomy/term/24) have an add content button that will autopopulated the category of the content, is this possible? If so how?

2) I installed CCK to add some custom fields to my submission form, are there any ways to control the look of those fields? For example I have a text box that is only 16 chars but the text box displays across the entire page. Also I'd like to be able to put more than one field across the same row horizontally.

3) Can I control the look of the custom fields that are entered when the node is being displayed (after submission)?

Thanks again!
Frank

I've sort of answered my question #2 and #3.

For #2 the best I could find was to modify the styles in the styles.css file. Is there a better way?

For #3 I used Contemplate and love it. Is there anything like ConTemplate but for the submission screen?

Also still interested in #1.

Thanks,
Frank

There is no contemplate for CCK data entry.

This gives you some help with CCK data entry: http://drupal.org/node/98253
I am personally struggling quite heavily with e.g., changing the width and alignment of CCK fields.

Can you share your code in changing the widht of the fields?
Any pointers for that?

Here is what I did, in the styles.css for my theme I added:

 /*
  * Custom 
  */
  
#edit-field-related-rulepro-item-0-value
{
	width: 250px;
}

#edit-field-related-to-ruletype-keys
{
	height: 200px;
}

This chagned the width of the first textbox, and the height of a multi-select box.

This helps me forward. Not a compex thing, but all needs to be learned by doing...
