[jira] Created: (CLK-525) FormTable - renderTransposed functionality

FormTable - renderTransposed functionality
------------------------------------------

                 Key: CLK-525
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-525
             Project: Click
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Joseph Schmidt


Please add a "renderTranspose" functionality for FormTable, i.e., when this boolean property would be set,
than the table would be rendered in the transposed mode (columns instead of rows and vice versa )

Were is this very useful:
- forms with too many fields would need too much horizontal scroll. For better usability is a requirement to render
transposed for those cases - vertical scroll is much more user friendly.
- long field names
- forms that require in table mode just a few data sets (rows) - when rendered transposed, are much more usable
- when doing allot of comparative work (e.g. only between 2 data sets)

Another nice option would be the possibility to set the tabulation order , e.g.
String tabulationOrder = "toLeft"; // toBottom
to be able to improve the keyboard friendliness of the FromTable (in transpose mode or not)

Joseph Schmidt commented on CLK-525:
------------------------------------

In fact, if I look better, from this feature could benefit the Table control too: since HTML supports this feature
by putting in each "<TR>" element a "<TH>" in the first cell.
