Problem

You don’t like the SharePoint default form and you want to change a list’s default form because you don’t like:

• SharePoint lays out the fields
• you don’t like the look and feel
• you need to customize the forms behavior
• you need to customize the default values
• or you want to create different forms for your content types (cool stuff here)

* You should not do this if you want to hide or show fields, change field order; to do this simply modify the list’s underlying content type.

Solution

• Create a custom list with the necessary fields
• Open SharePoint designer and navigate to the site hosting this custom list
• Expand the lists folder until you see your list and the DispForm.asxp, EditForm.aspx, and NewForm.aspx.

• Create a new ASPX page

• Add the SharePoint Custom List Form control (Warning! Don’t mix this form up with the List Form Control

• Choose the proper list (Warning! If you don’t see the content type you didn’t follow the instructions, look at the step I show above!!!)

• Your form will appear as it does below
