Porting from 2.6 to latest

Hi all,
I'm in the process of porting an old application from Seaside version
2.6 to the latest version of Seaside.  The first stop along the way is
to 2.7 to move from WAAbstractHtmlBuilder to WACanvas.   I used many
of the helper methods such as
WAAbstractHtmlBuilder>>tableRowWithLabel:column: to help with form
and table creation.   How would you recommend replacing these using
WACanvas?

Thanks,
Brett Taylor

You should get the exact same output with:

html tableRow: [
        html tableData class: 'label'; with: anObject.
        html tableData: aBlock ]

you might also want to consider:

html tableRow: [
        html tableHeading: anObject.
        html tableData: aBlock ]

and then adjust your CSS.

You can use rewrite rules [1] to automate the process.

If you have lots of forms you might want to check out Magritte to generate them.
