That's what you get for trying to work before morning coffee! I can't believe I just typed the styling wrong.</p> <p>I will try to follow the directions on the link for the placeholder text. </p> <p>Thanks,<br /> anthony </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/css-styling-of-sidbar#post-38158 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 10:07:23 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 38158@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Well, to begin, your inline style declaration is incorrect. It should be like this.. with a colon<br /> <pre><code>&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 20px&quot;&gt;Stay Connected&lt;/p&gt;</code></pre> <p>screenshot: <a href="http://bit.ly/pepsvw" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/pepsvw</a></p> <p>Secondly, there's no built-in way to add placeholder text right now. You can do this with a little customization though.. you would hide the existing field labels with a CSS rule, then you can use this method to add the placeholder text inside the inputs.</p> <p><a href="http://rkt.gs/clearit" rel="nofollow">http://rkt.gs/clearit</a></p> <p>Hope that helps. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/css-styling-of-sidbar#post-38157 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 10:00:50 +0000 Anthony 38157@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a simple sidebar form widget that I have attempted to style but a couple elements are not conforming.</p> <p>Take a look at the form here -&gt; <a href="http://174.123.90.66/~abprinc/apsite/" rel="nofollow">http://174.123.90.66/~abprinc/apsite/</a></p> <p>The text "Stay Connected...." is an HTML form element, but the styles I am applying in the form are not taking. </p> <p>This is what I have in the HTML element.</p> <pre><code>&lt;p style=&quot;font-size=20px&quot;&gt;Stay Connected&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;and receive frequent email updates&lt;/p&gt;</code></pre> <p>Also, is there a way I can get the form fields "Name" and "Email" to be a faint gray inside the actual form element? Meaning inside the input box itself. </p>
