I currently have a contact form displaying the following mark up:


<form>
  <fieldset>
    <legend></legend>

    <div id="Name" class="field text ">
      <label class="left" for="Form_ContactForm_Name">Name*</label>
        <div class="middleColumn">
          <input type="text" class="text" id="Form_ContactForm_Name" name="Name" value="" />
        </div>
    </div>

    <div id="Email" class="field email ">
      <label class="left" for="Form_ContactForm_Email">Email*</label>
        <div class="middleColumn">
          <input type="text" class="text" id="Form_ContactForm_Email" name="Email" value="" />
        </div>
    </div>
		
    <div id="Comments" class="field textarea ">
      <label class="left" for="Form_ContactForm_Comments">Comments*</label>
        <div class="middleColumn">
          <textarea id="Form_ContactForm_Comments" name="Comments" rows="5" cols="20"></textarea>
        </div>
    </div>

    <input class="hidden" type="hidden" id="Form_ContactForm_SecurityID" name="SecurityID" value="760995074" />
  </fieldset>
  <input class="action" id="Form_ContactForm_action_SendContactForm" type="submit" name="action_SendContactForm" value="Send" title="Send" />
</form>

I would like to strip out the unnecessary divs and classes so that the markup looks more like this:


<form>
  <fieldset>
    <legend></legend>

      <label for="Form_ContactForm_Name">Name*</label>
      <input type="text" id="Form_ContactForm_Name" name="Name" value="" />

      <label for="Form_ContactForm_Email">Email*</label>
      <input type="text" id="Form_ContactForm_Email" name="Email" value="" />
		
      <label for="Form_ContactForm_Comments">Comments*</label>
      <textarea id="Form_ContactForm_Comments" rows="5" cols="20"></textarea>

    <input class="hidden" type="hidden" id="Form_ContactForm_SecurityID" name="SecurityID" value="760995074" />
  </fieldset>
  <input class="action" id="Form_ContactForm_action_SendContactForm" type="submit" name="action_SendContactForm" value="Send" title="Send" />
</form>

I managed to edit some of the html output in sapphire/templates/includes/Form.ss but can't locate where the rest of the mark up is being defined.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks..
