This is the control’s class name that was added to your form's XHTML markup. CSS class is typically used to reference the control in any CSS added to a theme. Since themes  are no longer supported, form customizations are accomplished by using Layouts and Styles. There are some css classes that are available. 

CSS Class to Add a Page Break

One built-in css class name is 'f-page-break'. If you want to add a page break to the printed view of the form's pdf, tiff, add f-page-break to the control that you want to start at the top of a new page. See Printing Forms for the details.

CSS Class to Reduce White Space

Another is the showhelp css class that is built into the Tight layout. For example, you can reduce white space even further with the Tight layout so that you have virtually no space between controls by selecting the hide label property on each control. This can be a way to implement a grid type layout as shown in this sample form below. 

When controls are this tight together there is no room to display the help icon for controls with help text. Notice that the first row of controls does displays the help icon. This is done by putting the string showhelp into the css class property for each control in the first row. This is a useful way to have help at the top of each column.

CSS Class to Set Font Size for the Table and Message Controls

There are seven CSS classes that set font size that can be used with a Message or Table controls. Add these into the css class property for these controls only. Other use cases are not supported.

Selecting a choice from the Label Size dropdown on the Style tab of some controls, such as the Message control, will override the css class. 

CSS Class to Display Invalid Form Message on Submit

This CSS class is only available in v6.1.4. You can use the CSS class f-submit-error to display a message control that notifies the users that the form cannot be submitted because there are required controls that are empty or controls that contain invalid data. Refer to this Valid Forms#InvalidFormNotificationforUsers

If you are using Live Forms in-house, Cascading Style Sheet code that was used in themes applied to forms/flows in previous Live Forms releases, can be added to a newly created style.css file in the frevvo.war file .
