You can not do that with forms api as is. If you just want to have element without visible title set it to ' ' .

There are a few things you could try - one would be to give the label an empty string, then use some CSS to remove that label div from the display (from memory, there is a 'nolabel' class, or something like that added, when the label is empty).

Another option, if you have several items and you want to put them together, without individual labels, is to use a group (the group gets a label, but the other items don't need them).

Finally, you could manually code a select + use a 'html' element in the form to output it (this is a bad idea though, as you lose all the benefits of forms - built-in validation, workflow support, etc.).

Thanks guys!

I think grouping the items is the best way for me to go. It's not so much as not wanting the label text, it's really the fact that I have an extra div that takes up unneeded space.

On the other hand, note that form labels are there for good reasons, the accessibility being one of them. I learnt that if you try an write Behat feature test for your form and realize that you have to use XPATH as the only way to describe where the element is on the screen (instead of referring to it in more natural way), there is probably usability and accessibility issue with the form (regardless how compact and modern it looks).
