javascript - Can I create HTML form fields with fixed positions using Orbeon forms? -


in orbeon forms, possible position input fields @ specific x, y location, relative background image?

i have existing paper form covers complete page. want use scanned form image background , place input fields on background in specific locations.

i know possible adobe acrobat, looking web-based open source alternative.

currently using html forms using code following:

<input name="current_user" id="current_user" type="text" class="noborder"        style="position:absolute; left:90px; top:15px;                width:270px; height:19px;"  oscardb=current_user> 

the position:absolute; left:90px; top:15px; places input field @ specific location on background image.

i can code these hand, gui tool field alignment tools , field properties.

if not in orbeon, know of tool?

plan b use gui form/field designer , write code generate required html forms code.

orbeon forms isn't designed create exact replicas on web of paper forms. because web such different medium paper, think in cases better form author rethink form when adapting web, if so. make sense have wizard? leverage calculations? have fields showing or not showing depending on other values?

if need create exact copy of paper form, positioning of field matching in paper version, said, can positioning css, orbeon forms doesn't doing so.
