  • Note

  • Drupal 7 much improves the classes added to the div surrounding form items (in Drupal 6 it was hard-coded to 'form-item'). The type of form element and the form element name are now added as form-item-type and form-item-name.

    • Explanation

  • This inability to control form element divs is a frustration from Drupal 6, mitigated in 7, and could go in a module building, form altering, or theming section.
