There is a proper form elemente for adding markup, which is &#39;#type&#39; =&gt; &#39;markup&#39; . You place HTML inside the &#39;#value&#39;. Nothing wrong with this approach. #prefix and #suffix should be used to wrap elements with additional markup or add HTML that is related to an existing element.<br>
<br>But that&#39;s not even the issue here, right?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 12:56 PM, James Wilson <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:jrguitar21@gmail.com">jrguitar21@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

After I posted I realized I can to a _theme function to go with the _form function to help lay things out nicely without having to add .tpl files or other theme overhead to the project. I think it&#39;s time to go make friends with drupal_render().<br>
