Re: PloneFormGen custom field

Thanks, Rick. I solved the issue in a similar manner, getting by with 
css entries for each id:

#archetypes-fieldname-start_minute {
     float: left;
     clear: none;
}

Now my selection fields are next to one another as if I had a sane and 
user-friendly HH:MM:SS set of fields.

Cheers,
Chuck
