$form = new Varien_Data_Form(); $fieldset = $form->addFieldset('sample_fieldset', array('legend' => 'Sample Fieldset')); $fieldset->addField('sample_element', 'text', array( 'label' => 'Sample Element', 'required' => true, 'name' => 'sample_element', )); $element = $fieldset->getElement('sample_element');In the code example above, we create a new instance of Varien_Data_Form and add a new fieldset to it. We then add a new element to the fieldset using addField method. Finally, we get the element using getElement method and assign it to a variable. This example shows how to use Varien_Data_Form getElement method to retrieve a form element. The Varien_Data_Form class is a part of the Magento framework package.
