no way to attach classes to form elements

[mwotton]

I'm trying to create a checkbox group. Unfortunately, the checkbox_group helper in pp/helpers/dynamic_forms/check_box_group_helper.rb doesn't provide a way to add a class to the generated label.

line 73: out << "

#{markup}#{item}

\n"

I'm passing a custom block in now, but this doesn't help me much in the general run - I'd have to write different code for each different kind of form. Would it be reasonable to attach a class to all form elements?

This sounds like a good idea. Maybe we should take this even further and add support for formtastic or something like that?

yes, that'd be good. we ended up doing a lot more of it manually than I'd really have liked, formtastic support would have been excellent.

Hi Mark, any chance you want to take a stab at this feature of adding formtastic support? Or even opening it up to adding more html option support to the fields somehow?

@tcocca I'd like to, but I'm pretty pressed for time at the moment. will circle back when the current massive pile of work is looking less intimidating.

Sounds like we are both in the exact same predicament. Hopefully that clears up soon. Keep me posted on this, don't want to end up doing double work.
