I'm using AJAX to replace form elements within a form and I need to get a form element, such as a select box, without the surrounding form. Here's how!
Build your $form like normal, then call this:
<?php
print form_render(form_builder('my_select', $form));
?>Correction for Drupal 5
Note that you should use drupal_render() for Drupal 5, NOT form_render().
When outputting as JavaScript code, you could do something like this:
<?php
$form_item = $form['some_form_item'];
$js_form_item = drupal_to_js(drupal_render($form_item));
$js_code = "var some_form_item = $js_form_item;";
?>
