How to add text and a line to a form
« on: March 10, 2012, 08:58:57 AM »
I have a Settings form (update form) and want to add some text and a line to delineate some of the settings.

i.e. something like ---------Advanced-----------


How can I achieve this? I would prefer not to use a tab if possible.

Thanks

John

As far as the line is concerned, there's actually a "line" control that you can put on forms.

Also, you could use XHTML to add custom stuff to your forms, browses, etc...

Sorry Don I must be stupid. I cannot see where the control is.

Hello John,

You can simply put line on form using display field. There is a checkbox "Horizontal Line" in Settings tab.

Regards,
Matthew

there is no html that corresponds directly to this;

---------Advanced-----------

well except for, obviously,
'---------Advanced-----------'

There is <hr/> to make a horizontal line.

There is also <fieldset> .... </fieldset> which wraps things in a box - but that's just the same as the "plain" tab style.

cheers
Bruce
