JQuery-Plugin for creating complex forms (table-based) with usage of bootstrap and (optional) Font-Awesome.

Introduction

Why a new plugin for building html forms? Because I was tired of building (complex) forms by hand and needed some lib for my projects that could handle the following:

• Display a bunch of form elements in a (sometimes) complex grid
• Have an "edit" and a "view" mode
• Simple add validation or other event handler on form elements
• Use the excellent bootstrap design and optional font awesome for "nicer" form ui
• Have the ability to use elements spanning over some rows of the grid (rowspan and colspan)

Since I did not find a library doing all that in a kindly manner: I did it myself :) The code was done in three days in my sparetime, so I am sorry for all the mess and all the bugs that are still in there.
