If i understood exactly what you want to do, You must 'play' with css file ;)

Actually i tried to use "table", and inside it cells to put the elements I wanted, but it didn't work out...

eForms has been designed to put each element in its own row. You can not split a row into 2, sorry.

For your information: On Elxis 4.0 Nautilus the elxisForm class allows you to place unlimited elements into the same row. elxisForm supports 32 form elements.
Here is a sample structure:

$form = new elxisForm();
$form->openRow(); //open a new row
$form->addText(...);
$form->addDate(..);
$form->closeRow(); //close row
$form->openRow(); //open an other row
$form->addImage(...);
$form->addCountry(...);
$form->addSlider(...);
$form->closeRow(); //close row
$form->render();


You can also put elements into tabs and fieldsets and do much more.
$form = new elxisForm();
$form->openTab('My first tab');
   $form->openFieldset('Test');
      $form->addMLText();
      $form->openRow();
         $form->addNote();
         $form->addText();
         $form->addDate();
      $form->closeRow();
   $form->closeFieldset();
$form->closeTab();
$form->openTab('My second tab');
   $form->addFile();
$form->closeTab();
$form->addButton();
$form->render();


And here is a real example on creating a text input field with elxisForm:
$eLang = eFactory::getLang();
$form->addText('title', $row->title, $eLang->get('TITLE'), array('required' => 1, 'dir' => 'ltr', 'size' => 50, 'maxlength' => 160, 'tip' => 'Something helpful'));
