Seam Recipes [Part 1]: s:decorate

September 21, 2009

As a developer, forms are one of my biggest grievances whenever I am building a Web application. Why? Well, for one, there is nothing pretty about creating a form. Even the best Web designers, with all of their fancy CSS wizardy, struggle to build clean, consistent, and reusable form layers that can be used anywhere within an application.
