I don't think there is a way.

Previous versions of Silverstripe did not have a legend tag at all in the forms - which made them fail html validation.

If you want to get rid of the border, you could probably just do that with CSS:

or something...

I'm not sure why a legend would create a border by default - that sounds more like something that a <fieldset> would do...

I am having the same issue, but I have solved part of it.

You can get rid of the border by adding a CSS element for the fieldset (which is where the border is being set by the user agent) :

#Header form fieldset {
   border: none;
}

As for the word "Search" appearing, I am a bit baffled. I've tried tracking back to see where this originates, but no luck. I looked at SearchForm.php but that doesn't seem to be the source.

Can anyone tell me where in the code this caption gets inserted?

No, I don't think that is the source. I have already removed those references from the controller. Here is my code in the controller:

function SearchForm() {
$searchText = isset($this->Query) ? $this->Query : '';   
$fields = new FieldSet(
new TextField("", "", $searchText)
);
$actions = new FieldSet(
new FormAction('results', 'Search')
);
return new SearchForm($this, "SearchForm", $fields, $actions);
}

I notice the syntax of the TextField method is different in your suggestion. But I tried pasting in what you wrote and it made no difference.

Regarding the setLegend command, how do you use this? I tried

$fields->setLegend("")

in the SearchForm function, but this throws a Big Red Error "Method 'setLegend' not found in class 'FieldSet'.

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Thanks,

Ian.

I have been following the tutorials from the silverstripe.org website. Tutorial 4 is the one that deals with creating a site search. I've basically abandoned worrying about this unwanted caption for now - I'll come back to it when I have some spare time. Thanks for looking anyway.
