How complex is your form? How is your theme CSS structured -- does your form inherit a lot of weird properties from the theme that need to be overwritten? How experienced is your developer?</p> <p>I would say to allow 4 hours minimum dev time if you want to make sure it's done properly and works in all the latest browsers. If it's a complex form, then maybe double that time. Again, it's hard to say and your developer will have to review your form and quote it accordingly.</p> <p>Best of luck with it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/fill-in-the-blank-fields-paragraph-layout#post-51826 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 02:48:29 +0000 bridalpr 51826@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I tried it, but got lost, If i were to hire a developer. how long should it take them to do this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/fill-in-the-blank-fields-paragraph-layout#post-51825 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 02:46:25 +0000 bridalpr 51825@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So we just add the CSS to the theme stylesheet and it should look exactly the same? great! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/fill-in-the-blank-fields-paragraph-layout#post-25606 Mon, 16 May 2011 12:20:18 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 25606@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Nope. You never want to edit the forms.css file directly. That gets overwritten when the plugin updates and any changes you've made there will get wiped out. You want to add any custom CSS rules to the very end of your THEME stylesheet. That way the plugin updates won't change any custom CSS work you've done. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/fill-in-the-blank-fields-paragraph-layout#post-25590 Mon, 16 May 2011 11:29:06 +0000 tts 25590@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the link -- that's exactly what I needed. Did you just put that custom CSS in the GF forms.css file? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/fill-in-the-blank-fields-paragraph-layout#post-25588 Mon, 16 May 2011 11:18:17 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 25588@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yep, you're talking about a madlib style form. You can do that with a little bit of work. Here's an example to get you started.</p> <p><a href="http://www.rocketgenius.com/gravity-forms-mad-lib-style-form-demo/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rocketgenius.com/gravity-forms-mad-lib-style-form-demo/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/fill-in-the-blank-fields-paragraph-layout#post-25586 Mon, 16 May 2011 11:15:03 +0000 tts 25586@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'd like to create a form that takes on the layout of a paragraph where a user can simply fill-in-the-blanks. It would look something like:</p> <p>My name is [text field] and I work for [text field]. I'm interested in your services and can be contacted via email at [text field] or phone at [text field].</p> <p>[Submit]</p> <p>Is this at all possible with the WP plugin? </p>
