Show only text in a form

Question

I just want to show the status of an item on one AJAX call. I cannot find any form element that allows me to only output text. I don't want a textfield form, since that would allow the users to enter a value.

How do I show text only in a form created with the form API?

Answer 1

If you want to show only text, use '#markup' form element, with syntax like this:

$form['status'] = array(
  '#markup' => '<p>' . variable_get('status', t('Off')) . '</p>',
);

Answer 2

Why don't you use Webform ? If you want to hide something :

• Css -> display:none
• Js -> $('#fo').hide();
• Hack the weform module
