If you want to add a bit of separation to your form I stumbled onto this. Maybe it's published but this works.
See attached video

So you have "TABS" and "Text" for form formatting.
Well, let's say you want to delineate an area in a form by putting a box around it.



Editing Form:


1: (first "text" element.) <table style="width:100%;border:1px solid black">

2: (last "text" element.) </table>

You can encompass many fields on your form by putting the </table> further down.

    Great Tip!
    I don't think that was ever posted anywhere in either Magic Buttons or here on the forum.

    Isn't it a lot easier to just put all of your HTML code into a Formula - Rich Text field, and then simply nest the Field Value you want into that code?

    Rich Text Formula:
    <table style="border: 2px solid red; border-radius: 4px;">
    <tr>
    <td style="padding: 8px;">
     [Field Name]
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>​

    Then drop this Formula - Rich Text field into your form as a single form entry.  This is a whole lot easier to manage over the long run, and you can see all your HTML tags at once, rather than having them spread out across many Form Text entries.
