Form whitespace / blank field options other than this?

I really, really like my SNC forms layouts to be user-friendly and readable, so I've came up with a clunky way to add blank row separators in the form. I add an Annotation (Custom) with the text as

<font color="white">|</font>

Of course this just adds a white-colored bar where the Annotation is placed on the form.

Now, I don't love this option for a number of reasons... it assumes the user's browser has a white background so the bar is unseen, Annotations act funky sometimes when moving fields up and down the picklist, and I have to remember what the code is each time I need to use it 😉

Anyhow, what I wanted to ask is whether anyone else has found a different approach to this? I've searched around the forums and have been surprised it didn't come up as a topic at all! Am I just obsessive about this? Hehehe

Thanks for any feedback!

I use Annotations. I don't think it's clunky though. I think that's the point of them.

You can use HTML in those Annotations though. I would use
instead of that white bar.


Tony, that is an excellent suggestion! Once again, can't believe I didn't think of that 😉 Using



does change my impression of it as not being such a clunky solution afterall! Thanks! (oh and btw, thanks for deciphering my code, which I had forgotten to surround with the

<code>
tags)

I thought you were trying to be comical by pasting in your actual HTML like that. I was hoping to click, drag and select that text to find some sort of Easter egg. I must admit, I was pretty disappointed to find a pipe character instead of some hidden message... 🙂


Hahahaha! Well, maybe that's all I chose to share here... and the actual code in my instance it's more interesting 🙂 It's not, but would be funny


Thanks again for your help, Tony!
