This helps me out.

There is no value to put into the HTML field. To echo information back to the visitor after they fill out a form, you will need to use jQuery. Gravity Forms can't help with it because the form has not yet been submitted.</p> <p>You could use two forms and capture the name in form one, then after they submit the first form, direct them to form two, and pre-populate the field using information from form 1. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/displaying-a-text-field-input-in-html-block#post-88516 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 18:12:19 +0000 AFA-IT 88516@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I too would like to display the value of a form field in an HTML block, but as stated above, using a merge tag doesn't seem to work. </p> <p>Is there some other way of achieving this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/displaying-a-text-field-input-in-html-block#post-82504 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 20:20:51 +0000 jderosa3 82504@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I want to display something like this in an HTML block on my form:</p> <p><code>&lt;h3&gt;Nice to meet you {Name (First):1.3}. Now that we have introduced ourselfs let&#39;s continue.&lt;/h3&gt;</code></p> <p>However, the form will render with "{Name (First):1.3}" without pulling the first name from the field that was filled out. Is this possible to do? Thanks! </p>
