Remove all markup from user registration field

Question

I have been searching in vain for days trying to find the right hook or theme override to basically change a few fields I have defined in a custom registration form.

The default markup generated by Drupal is too verbose and the designer has requested that I not change the CSS -- I need to bend the markup to meet the CSS not the CSS to play nice with Drupal.

I have tried hook_field_widget_form_alter and have managed to wrap the existing markup in div's but I need to remove the default:

function tweakform_field_widget_form_alter(&$element, &$form_state, $context) {
  //$element['#prefix'] = '<dir style="background-color: red">';
  //$element['#suffix'] = '</div>';

}

Can someone please show me how this is done? I don't want to re-write the entire form.tpl.php as I only need to override a few fields markup -- then again it may be handy to override the whole thing. These fields are dynamic and controlled by designer and more may be added later or possibly removed.

Answer 1

If you wish to change markup, do it in your theme template.php using THEME_form_element() just take the function from theme_form_element and modify it for your theme. There are also theme hooks for the form and fieldsets.

Answer 2

function tweakform_field_widget_form_alter(&$element, &$form_state, $context) {    
  $element['#theme_wrappers'] = '';    
  $element['#prefix'] => '<div class="red">'; 
  $element['#suffix'] => '</div>';
}
