Controlled display of forms & widgets.

        I've got a fairly functional system going now with my
medusa/quixote/postgres app and
its time for me to start making the interface more useful and user-friendly.
However, I'm now having
a bit of difficulty figuring out how to place widgets side-by-side, in groups
(tables?), or control which
widgets are editable vs. read-only when in an update mode, for example. The
forms and widgets
seem pretty powerful in their ease of getting stuff on screen but is there a
price of flexibility to be
paid or am I just missing the obvious method of extending this? I'd appreciate
and advice or
example code on how to best approach this within the Quixote framework. Is this
outside the scope
of Quixote? What have the rest of you done for your layout development?

        thanx & later,

                Ben Scherrey
