It's the easiest way to change an element template: $form->setElementTemplate('mytextarea', '<tr><td>{label}</td><td>Please....<br />{element}</td></tr>'); (add the required and error blocks accordingly, look at the default element template) If the template you are using is ITX or Sigma, I would recommend you wait for the beta release 3.0 coming tonight or tomorrow. If you are using another template engine (Xipe ?), I would recommend you have a look at the two renderers that will be available tomorrow for ITX and Sigma and write a renderer for Xipe :) Alexey and I can probably help you with that, it's quite easy. The renderers will free you from having to deal with html in your PHP code. Whatever solution you use, it's not a good idea to add an html element in your group. >> Groups are here for logical reasons, not for presentation or layout reasons. >> >> You can have a look at the different examples in the docs/ directory. >> Example7 deals with grouped elements. > > ok, thanks a lot
