Did not see that class before at all...<br /> Also solved the alignment problem from code above by adding a line-height attribute! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/customising-required-field-asterix#post-42548 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 08:59:44 +0000 Rob Harrell 42548@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This would allow you to select the inputs that are required:</p> <pre><code>[css] .gfield_contains_required input, .gfield_contains_required textarea, .gfield_contains_required select { border: 2px solid blue; }</code></pre> <p>Then you could always do a display: none on the .gfield_required if you didn't want that to show. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/customising-required-field-asterix#post-42540 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 07:39:36 +0000 sascha 42540@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>As an interim solution I used some CSS on the gfield_required, but unfortunately the css I applied kicks out the alignment of the form, when used in 2 3 4 columns. Have a look at:<br /> <a href="http://landwire.de/add-event/" rel="nofollow">http://landwire.de/add-event/</a></p> <p>The CSS I applied it as follows:<br /> <pre><code>.gfield_required { font-size: 40px; left: 5px; position: relative; top: 17px; }</code></pre> <p>Is there a way to fix that?<br /> I would much rather prefer to use my own string or ideally change the look of the input field (as described above). Maybe there is some fancy CSS targetting that I could do (like choose only next select after gfield_required)? I am crap at targeting CSS though. Any ideas? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/customising-required-field-asterix#post-42538 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 07:10:25 +0000 sascha 42538@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there,<br /> I would like to customise the way that the required fields asterix is being displayed. I'm thinking off either:<br /> 1. Using my own graphic/png/jpg<br /> 2. Using a different standard sign or string (i.e # or &lt;required&gt;)<br /> 3. Just styling the input field different (i.e making the border red and 5px thick)<br /> 4. Any other creative way that I/you can come up with</p> <p>Is there a hook I can use? </p>
