Customize Forms in TS 5.5.2

I am using Teamsite 5.5.2 on windows. I'm trying to find a way to customize the dcr forms. Is there a way to modify the stylesheet that renders the form? If not I'd like to at least add spaces to make the form a little more user-friendly. If I could include a line break here or there in the DCT it would be wonderful.

There really isn't a supported way in 5.5.2. 6.1 and up you can use custom css.

In 5.5.2 though, you can add html to your labels if you just wrap the contents of the label in cdata tags:

<label><![CDATA[Your text here]]></label>

FYI, this will not work in 6.1 and up.

Okay. Thank you much.

Unsupported, but you can hack that file up if you want. Run an iwreset for your changes to be applied.

On one of my projects, our users do not like all the vertical spacing between fields when TeamSite displays DCTs using custom DTDs. We've simply commented out offending HTML in the js file to eliminate unnecessary nested tables and empty table rows. This works well for us; however, under most circumstances, it's best not to mess with TeamSite source code. IWOV patches, fixpacks, and upgrades wipe out your modifications... and most likely you won't receive support from IWOV on product code you've changed.

Just food for thought.
