			<title>Contexture on "Merge tag for Dropdown Option Text?"</title>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I need a merge tag that allows me to pass along the TEXT for the selected option in a dropdown, but can't find anything in the documentation.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;:value returns the selected options value attribute, :label returns the &#38;lt;label&#38;gt;, but there doesn't seem to be a :text or :content merge tag option.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;In my case, the option's value attribute is a WordPress post slug that would be meaningless to the person receiving the email, but necessary to have the field auto-populate via querystring. The selected &#38;lt;option&#38;gt;'s text, however, is relevant... and I need to ensure that it is included in the email.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I am using version 1.7.3 and I am trying to get text sent to the admin email that retains the XML tag fileds delimited by &#38;lt; and &#38;gt;.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;This is the php code in functions.php&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;blockquote&#62;&#60;p&#62;
/**&#60;br /&#62;
 * GravityForms&#60;br /&#62;
 * send notifications as text&#60;br /&#62;
 */&#60;br /&#62;
add_filter('gform_notification', 'change_notification_format', 10, 3);&#60;br /&#62;
function change_notification_format( $notification, $form, $entry ) {&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;    $notification['message_format'] = &#34;text&#34;; //changing notification format to text&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;    return $notification;&#60;br /&#62;
}&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;/blockquote&#62;
&#60;p&#62;This is the notification message.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;blockquote&#62;&#60;p&#62;
{all_fields}&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Computer XML data&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#38;lt;firstname&#38;gt;{First name:1}&#38;lt;/firstname&#38;gt;&#60;br /&#62;
&#38;lt;middlename&#38;gt;{Middle:2}&#38;lt;/middlename&#38;gt;&#60;br /&#62;
&#38;lt;lastname&#38;gt;{Last name:3}&#38;lt;/lastname&#38;gt;&#60;br /&#62;
&#38;lt;Address_line1&#38;gt;{Address (Street Address):12.1}&#38;lt;/Address_line1&#38;gt;&#60;br /&#62;
&#38;lt;Address_line2&#38;gt;{Address (Address Line 2):12.2}&#38;lt;/Address_line2&#38;gt;&#60;br /&#62;
&#38;lt;Address1_city&#38;gt;{Address (City):12.3}&#38;lt;/Address1_city&#38;gt; ...&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;/blockquote&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And text received by the admin email has &#38;amp; l t {data} &#38;amp; g t instead of &#38;lt;{data}&#38;gt;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As a result, the data import function into my database can't read the XML tags because of the missing carats

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Updated to 1.7, unable to get the Default Confirmation Text nor a Redirect to /thank-you/ to work on my site. Newest version of WordPress, I even disabled the only few plugins I had which were Akismet, Disquis, &#38;amp; MapPress Easy Google Maps and tried again to see if any of those were messing anything up. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;You can see the form @ &#60;a href=&#34;http://shc.iamfrankstallone.com/support/ticket/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://shc.iamfrankstallone.com/support/ticket/&#60;/a&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I have a form at &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.newlifeconference.co.uk/booking/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www.newlifeconference.co.uk/booking/&#60;/a&#62; and one of the dropdowns has a different colour background (blue instead of white)  I know it is a CSS issue but as the dropdown only displays when the field is selected it's difficult to analyse and I was wondering if you could guide me so I can change the relevant css to show a white background on the form.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I am trying to change the text in the submit button on click. Trying to stop multiple submitters.&#60;br /&#62;
I have this in header.php:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;&#38;lt;script type=&#38;quot;text/javascript&#38;quot;&#38;gt;
$(&#38;quot;form.buttontext&#38;quot;)
.submit(function() {
var $form = $(this);
$.post($form.attr(&#38;#39;action&#38;#39;), function(){
var $submit = $form.find(&#38;quot;input:submit&#38;quot;).val(&#38;#39;Processing&#38;#39;);
window.setTimeout(function() {
$submit.val(&#38;#39;Register Now&#38;#39;);
}, 5000);
});
return false; //
});​
&#38;lt;/script&#38;gt;&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;p&#62;also tried disabling submit on click:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;$(&#38;#39;input:submit&#38;#39;).click(function(){
	$(&#38;#39;input:submit&#38;#39;).attr(&#38;quot;disabled&#38;quot;, true);
});&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Also tried this:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;$(document).ready(function(){
                $(&#38;#39;#gform_submit_button_6&#38;#39;).click(function(){
                $(&#38;#39;input:submit&#38;#39;).attr(&#38;quot;disabled&#38;quot;, true);
                });
        });&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Can someone please shed some light on where I am going wrong? I cannot get a click handler to work. I tried the submit handler too. No luck. I am obviously new to this and trying to learn!

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I'm having a hard time figuring out how to add instructions to my form. Is there a field that can be used that only displays text and doesn't ask for any inputs? Right now I'm using the description area in the section breaks but there has to be a better way, right? Thanks

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I'm working on the site here: &#60;a href=&#34;http://dochopkins.datacomplete.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://dochopkins.datacomplete.com/&#60;/a&#62; this is a wordpress site.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I would like to streamline the form so that the field name is inside of the field itself, same for email and phone. The user would click on the field with the name in the field and then the name would go away they'd be able to add their information. You can call it placeholder text. I'd prefer to have just one form, and use the widget option for the sidebar.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Also, how do i do a conditional, if the user fills in the last field, then automagically there are more questions that can be asked. This would all be part of the same form, but only show the first part of the form fields and when the user gets further down the form there are additional fields to fill out.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>
