Can you use something other than name, like a class? Replacing the name attribute is going to create problems in Gravity Forms.</p> <p>What is the other script/plugin you are trying to integrate with? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-fields-and-the-name-attribute#post-34542 Tue, 06 Sep 2011 07:54:02 +0000 Huw Rowlands 34542@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I have tried replacing the name attribute on each form field, from input_1 to the relevant values.<br /> But then the form throws an error. It seems to strip out the changed name attributes, and then will send the second time round.</p> <p>I can't show you a link as you need to sign-up and login to view the form.</p> <p>Is there another way of solving this?</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-fields-and-the-name-attribute#post-34538 Tue, 06 Sep 2011 06:02:07 +0000 Huw Rowlands 34538@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for your replies,</p> <p>This is what I need to achieve;</p> <p>I have a form for users to purchase 'credits', which they can use to purchase things within the website. The 'Credits' plugin needs attributes to determine how many credits the user is purchasing. eg: name=19 / name=29</p> <p>So I don't think adding a class to the parent element will work with this.</p> <p>I will try Chris's way; Changing the name attr using JQuery.</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-fields-and-the-name-attribute#post-34473 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 12:07:59 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 34473@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The name attributes are dynamically assigned when the form is created and are used as for the conditional logic, validation, etc. That's why there's currently not an option to modify them.</p> <p>Wouldn't you be able to add a class name to the parent list item in the form builder, then target the inputs with inheritance from that for your plugin functionality? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-fields-and-the-name-attribute#post-34465 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:03:22 +0000 Chris Hajer 34465@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Not from within Gravity Forms, but anything is possible with jQuery.</p> <p><a href="http://api.jquery.com/category/attributes/" rel="nofollow">http://api.jquery.com/category/attributes/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-fields-and-the-name-attribute#post-34450 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 05:00:42 +0000 Huw Rowlands 34450@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Is it possible to add attributes to form fields.
