Another Group control question

After reading through all I can find on the group control, I cannot resolve my question. I'll simplify the example below, but if the group does not technically "contain" anything, is there an example of how I can tell a group to wrap itself around or shadow a named div? I basically have a nice ugly square div as an input form and want to add the nice looks of the group to it. When I try to tell the group to add/use the div html, all it does is copy the static objects, which I understand.

<div id="gridHolder"></div>
<
div id="formHolder">
  <
form>
        <
div class="row">
            <
span class="label">User Id :</span>
             <
span class="input" id="user_name"></span>
         </
div>
    </
form>
</
div>

<
script type="text/javascript">
    
    var 
group = new AW.UI.Group
    
group.setId("groupContainer"); 
    
group.setControlText("Members"); 
    
group.setControlImage("user");
    
group.setControlSize(400,400);
    
group.setContent('html'document.getElementById("formHolder").innerHTML ); 
    
document.write(group); // Now objects duplicated - chaos
    
    
var first_name = new AW.UI.Input;
    
first_name.setClass("first_name");
    
//document.getElementById("first_name").innerHTML = first_name; // normal adding to document
    
group.setContent('first_name',user_name); // test add to group content

    // many more objects....tests
    
</script>

I gather you've read through the comments on this page? http://www.activewidgets.com/aw.ui.group/

If you don't like the idea of positioning elements over another object, you could just use a normal HTML fieldset to encapsulate them instead.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks, yes I did look through those comments. I was hoping that there may be some kind of update to the groups since 2.5.1 that I missed.

Are you able to illustrate your sentence about the fieldset?

Nevermind, I get it.
