I am using this solution: override the template code from com_contact/contact.
If the case is to maintain this feature I suggest to add an option to show/hide in the xml forms.
The <legend> is fine imho. If you don't like it, there are two possible solutions beside creating an override.
- Language string override: Create an override for COM_CONTACT_CONTACT_DEFAULT_LABEL and assign an empty value to it. The legend will no longer show.
- CSS:
#contact-form legend {
display: none;
}
As for the <h3>, we could add a CSS class to it, so it can be targetted with CSS and hidden if someones wants to. But removing it is imho wrong.
This is a matter of opinion and as it can be addressed in a template override I am closing this

Thanks for Request. I guess a Language Override isn't a Solution?
