The create page had three tabs (flavor, custom, template), each with its
own copy of the same create form; every flavor rendered one more copy in
a dialog, and fixes had to be made in each copy. All of them posted the
same form to the same job, differing only in where the disk comes from.
The page is now one form in sections: name and size, disk, networks and
an Advanced section. The disk section offers three sources as radio
cards (a new disk, existing volumes, a copy of a template); only the
chosen source's fields are shown, and the others are disabled, so they
are neither sent nor validated. A template's copy goes into the
template's pool unless another is picked. Flavors are presets that fill
vCPU, memory and disk size and pick a new disk; they are added and
deleted in a dialog outside the form. Every source uses the
per-interface network rows, so a new disk no longer requires a MAC:
libvirt gives an interface without one its address, as it did for the
other sources. A refused form comes back with its source, volumes,
template and networks, and the focus on its first error. Without a
storage pool or a network the page shows why instead of the form, and a
host that cannot be read is a message, not a 500.
The host dialog and the machine page share the form's look: hosts are
rows with their CPU and memory use, the machine page is a card with
Cancel/Next and the XML way is a collapsible section. All three steps
show the same step indicator, done steps linking back.
The create job refuses more than one disk source (the page sends one; a
crafted request could send two, and the job would have used the first).
A field with help text is described by its help and its error.
Frontend review fixes: the presets and the disclosure buttons show a
focus ring for keyboard users; a disclosure spans its card and its
chevron turns while open; a preset says it picks a new disk; numeric
fields bring a numeric keyboard and MAC fields no autocorrection; the
machine page's Next waits for a machine type. Tom Select's control
keeps the text colour of the select it replaces: its own fixed colour
made typed text invisible on dark Bootswatch themes, on every page that
uses it.
Column offsets without a breakpoint applied below it, where the column
is already full width, so the change password, compute, user, VM
create and VM settings forms ran past the right edge on a phone. Each
offset now starts at its column's breakpoint. The interface and network
detail lists were rows directly inside rows and sit in a column now;
the compute form loses a Bootstrap 3 thumbnail padding that broke its
gutters, and the add-rule dialog's hint is no longer cut off. The page
test checks both grid rules on every page.

Rendered through every URL on libvirt's test driver, the pages had
duplicate IDs and markup browsers repaired silently:
- Each flavor modal's "Advanced" button toggled #flav-add-collapse, the
first modal's section; every modal now has its own. The flavor and
template copies of the custom tab's control IDs, and the template
tab's unused images input, are gone.
- The VM page's action icons and the XML editors were styled by
repeated IDs; they use classes.
- Modal forms opened inside modal-body and closed after modal-footer;
they wrap both. Stray end tags and duplicate attributes are removed,
paragraphs no longer hold modals or rows, table heads have a row, and
the create page closes its row and column.
- html lang is the active language instead of "en".
A test walks every URL as a superuser and fails on a repeated ID. The
console page still has no doctype: its full-height layout relies on
quirks mode and needs its own check.
