Hi! Does anyone know if it is possible, using HTML::FormFu, to change the Element rendering so that it does NOT enclose each form element in a div, with a default class equal to the Input type?

I am trying to create a simple form whereby most input fields are stacked vertically (VBox), but have some field groups (like City-State-Zip) that I want horizontally (HBox)

In every case, I would like a label directly on-top of the Input box. I can do this easily in plain HTML by grouping the Input Elements, along with their Label, in Div (display: block) and having them float to the left.

But when I try it with FormFu, those darn extra Divs around every element screw up my alignment. Here is what I've tried:

---
attributes:
  id: form
  class: plain_form
action: /login
indicator: submit
auto_fieldset: { id: clentform }
elements:
  - type: Block
    tag: div
    attributes:
      class: formContainer
    elements:
    - type: Block
      tag: div
      attributes:
        class: formInput
      elements:
        - type: Text
          name: xref
        - type: Text
          name: since
        - type: Text
          name: kind
  - type: Fieldset
  - type: Text
    name: name
  - type: Text
    name: addr1
  - type: Text
    name: addr2
  - type: Fieldset
  - type: Text
    name: city
  - type: Text
    name: state

.etc

Maybe I am trying to do something that can't be done? It seems possible only with tons of Blocks around everything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
