adding a box around a group of fields

    I haven't been able to figure out how to apply something like a 1px border around several fields, in order to create some level of separation on a bigger form with lots of fields. For instance:

    -------
    field 1 |
    field 2 |
    field 3 |
    -------

    -------
    field 4 |
    field 5 |
    field 6 |
    -------

    Do I add an HTML section with a div, and then another HTML section to close the div, then use CSS to style the div?

    Yes that's what I have done previously, so you would add a HTML field to the top of your group adding the following content for example

    </li>
    </ul>
    <div class="my-box-style">
    <ul class="gform_fields top_label description_below">
    <li>

    Then between your first and second group you would add another HTML field with the following content for example

    </li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    <br />
    <div class="my-box-style">
    <ul class="gform_fields top_label description_below">
    <li>

    and then at the bottom you would add another HTML field with the following content for example

    </li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    <ul>
    <li>

    You would have to make sure the ul classes match your form settings so your labels and descriptions appear in the correct places.

    Great solution Richard. Thanks for sharing. The part I couldn't figure out was that I had to end the list-item and unordered-list before placing my div, and then follow the div by a new li and ul. It worked perfectly and my fields are neatly organized now. Thanks again.
