Can you provide a link to the page on your site where the Gravity Form is embedded so we can take a look at see what you mean? Thank you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/all-select-menus-in-date-drop-down-field-has-same-id#post-180617 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 10:30:12 +0000 nsund 180617@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, I am wondering if you would be able to help me: I have a day/month/year component on a website I want to call fro fake. The problem is: The entire component consists of three separate dropdowns and has only one id numer. Is it possible to somehow call those 3 separate dropdowns or do I need to talk to the website developer about assigning unique ids to all of the dropdowns? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/all-select-menus-in-date-drop-down-field-has-same-id#post-102170 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:07:10 +0000 Chris Hajer 102170@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Does this hack work for you now?

But GF adds the same ID to each select menu when using it. The only select menu that gets the Chosen style properly is the first instance (taking values from the last instance).</p> <p>So the day, month and year select menus all have the same ids. The normal functionality works, but the HTML isn't valid. And Chosen doesn't work either.</p> <p>I managed to make it work using some hacky preg_replace;<br /> <pre><code>//Day $content = preg_replace(&quot;/(&lt;div class=&#39;gfield_date_dropdown_day[^&gt;]+\&gt;)(&lt;select name=&#39;input_\\d{1,2}\[\]&#39; )(id=&#39;input_\\d{1,2}_\\d{1,2}_\\d{1,2})/s&quot;, &quot;\$1$2$3_1&quot;, $content); //Month $content = preg_replace(&quot;/(&lt;div class=&#39;gfield_date_dropdown_month[^&gt;]+\&gt;)(&lt;select name=&#39;input_\\d{1,2}\[\]&#39; )(id=&#39;input_\\d{1,2}_\\d{1,2}_\\d{1,2})/s&quot;, &quot;\$1$2$3_2&quot;, $content); //Year $content = preg_replace(&quot;/(&lt;div class=&#39;gfield_date_dropdown_year^&gt;]+\&gt;)(&lt;select name=&#39;input_\\d{1,2}\[\]&#39; )(id=&#39;input_\\d{1,2}_\\d{1,2}_\\d{1,2})/s&quot;, &quot;\$1$2$3_3&quot;, $content);</code></pre>
