To come back on your legend question:

you have to do it on the form, not on the fieldset.

So I guess in your case this would become:

instead of

return new SearchForm($this, "SearchForm", $fields, $actions); 

do

$form = new SearchForm($this, "SearchForm", $fields, $actions); 
$form->setLegend("My Legend");

return $form

Although I'm not sure which SS version you're using and if this was part of 2.2.3 already...

Hi Ian,

if you just want to take out the "Form legend Tag", go to directory sapphire->templates, open the "SearchForm.ss" and delete it.

regards, Andi

andi68, editing the sapphire/ templates is often a bad idea as when you are upgrading SS, its likely to break. As for getting rid of the legend you should just be able to do this in your CSS file

form legend {
 display: none;
}

Copy SearchForm.ss from "sapphire/templates" into "mysite/templates" (or mytheme/templates). Then remove the "<legend>Search</legend>" tag. This way there are no issues in case of framework updates.

Thanks willr, your solution it works

Thanks maksfeltrin, I think your solution is the best.

Willr - the CSS way does work, but I'm obsessive about my code validating with no errors and warnings.

Is that meaningless legend tag there for the future? :-)

It shouldn't be meanless - it should have some text in it at some point. Maybe I will change this for 2.4. I didn't want to add it for 2.3 as it would likely break alot of sites.

No worries Will, understood - I feel a little bad about being critical because overall SilverStripe is freakin' awesome!
