I do see a lot of discussions on creating forms and I am a little lost. What I am looking is to create a new content type (for adding food recipe) which I did using CCK. But the form to enter it has issues with the position of the field and also the recurring fields (ingredients in the recipe ) seems to be fixed to 3 fields which I need to work around. Can someone help me edit the form to input the recipe in a more use friendly style - currently i have all my fields one below the other. I am on 5.3 version and can migrate to the latest 5.5 version if that helps.

Any help with pointers to other articles is extremely appreciated.

thanks a lot.

you should be using Drupal 5.5 regardless of this problem. 5.3 has known security issues.

rather then CCK, have you investigated the recipe.module?

1. Enable the fieldgroup module and experiment with putting your fields into groups for easier presentation. You could consider e.g. CCK Fieldgroup Tabs module.

2. Look at the available CSS selectors for altering the presentation of form fields and consider tweaking the CSS in your theme. If you don't know how to do this, look for someone to help you.
