Formatting Forms in V4 / Upgrade from V3

OlliMuc 12 Aug, 2012
Hi there!

I'm currently (manually) importing some forms from an older CF Installation on J1.5 to my new CF V4 Installation on J2.5.
It works fine so far, the only downside is - I just cannot figure out how to format the forms in a way so they look great again.

Here's an example of my old forms:

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_textbox">
    <label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">Ihr Name</label>
    <input class="cf_inputbox" maxlength="150" size="30" title="" id="text_2" name="name" type="text" />
  
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_textbox">
    <label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">Ihre Telefonnummer</label>
    <input class="cf_inputbox" maxlength="150" size="30" title="" id="text_3" name="telefon" type="text" />
  
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>


Excellent results in J1.5 - looks like crap on V4 / J2.5. I've created a form from scratch within V4, but still can't figure out how to use the tags / code properly. Any help? Looking forward to any input!

Which tags/code ?

The old code will not look good on the V4 because it requires the old CSS, if you include the old CSS file contents into a CSS action then it will look nice, but I prefer the new layout, cleaner.
