I was only explaining how to add that CSS class.</p> <p>You will have to use one of these free plugins, or you can use something like this: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/clearing-default-form-field-values-with-jquery/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/clearing-default-form-field-values-with-jquery/</a></p> <p>Placeholder text is not a feature of Gravity Forms at this time. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/css-class-for-placeholder#post-193991 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 04:39:26 +0000 Tobe 193991@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi David,</p> <p>I prefer not to use third party free plugins. Chris responded to a similar question about placeholder CSS classes:</p> <p>"You can add the CSS class on the advanced tab of any field where you want a placeholder, or for the whole form, on the form settings page, as described in the plugin."</p> <p>read: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/easy-way-to-setup-a-form-structure-like-this" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/easy-way-to-setup-a-form-structure-like-this</a></p> <p>But I checked the documentation and can't find any CSS classes for that.

But what CSS class to add on the advanced tab of any field where I want a placeholder? (To have the labels placed inside the field forms so that they show the text info until the user clicks inside the field) </p>
