Question

hi i got this form in my script,
can i parse option values like height and width inside the script,
or have i to style it with jQuery after rendering through that script?

var form1 = new Backbone.Form({
    schema: {
        country: { type: 'Select', options: ['UK', 'USA'] },
        city: { type: 'Select', options: cities.UK },
        message: { type: 'Text'}
    }
}).render();

You can use the fieldAttrs property to set any attributes to the element:

country: { 
  type: 'Select', 
  options: ['UK', 'USA'], 
  fieldAttrs: { style: "width: 400px; height: 30px;" } 
}

Alternatively you can provide a CSS class using the fieldClass property, and apply CSS rules using regular stylesheets:

country: { 
  type: 'Select', 
  options: ['UK', 'USA'], 
  fieldClass: 'country-select'
}

All the available schema attributes are documented here.
