Re: Info on manipulating layout in CakePHP

For Cake 1.3, refer to this guide on the Form helper:

http://book.cakephp.org/#!/view/1383/Form

You can use the div => false option in nearly every form element.

If you want to place an input and the submit button side by side, I
think you have to make the div surrounding the input field (or as many
as you need) an inline element display: inline; , with a float: left
and the submit button the same. But I'm not an expert in CSS ;)
