Wow, that looks very interesting.

Then it is probably easier to use MACssRenderer. In some situations it  
is really hard to use CSS to style a Magritte form as it is generated  
automatically. In such cases it might be easier to manually render the  
Magritte fields. For example the login form on www.seasidehosting.st  
instantiates a normal Magritte component, but then renders the  
individual fields manually by querying #childAt: for the child  
components.

The latest version of Magritte-Seaside adds the class .magritte to  
<form> tags rendered by Magritte. This allows to distinguish Magritte  
forms much simpler from other forms. The standard MATableRenderer can  
now be styles like this:

	.magritte table th { /* the label styles */ }
	.magritte table td input { /* the control styles */ }
