FormAPI and containers

Winston

Is there another way to define items for FormAPI without the two containers? Or a way to suppress the white space between the two items.

Below is an example from Interwoven. I want the two items close together without the white space.


<symbol name="name">
<container combination="and" hide-name="f" name="name">
<container combination="and" hide-name="t" name="{iw_sub_elements}[0]">
<label>XML sub-elements</label>
<item name="#PCDATA">
<label>Name</label>
<description>Enter the contact name</description>
<text required="t" validation-regex="^\D+$" maxlength="50" />
</item>
</container>
</container>
</symbol>
<symbol name="phone">
<container combination="and" hide-name="f" name="phone">
<container combination="and" hide-name="t" name="{iw_sub_elements}[0]">
<label>XML sub-elements</label>
<item name="#PCDATA">
<label>Phone</label>
<description>Enter the phone number (###-###-####)</description>
<text required="t" validation-regex="^\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}$" maxlength="12"/>
</item>
</container>
</container>

Thanks,
Winston
