Rather than tweaking individual elements through conditional statements etc it might be a good idea to try get IE6 to behave correctly by using an alternative IE6 specific style sheet that will target common pitfalls. Very handy tool you can paste your forms.css file in to that will fix it up (for the most part): <a href="http://www.onderhond.com/tools/ie6fixer/" rel="nofollow">http://www.onderhond.com/tools/ie6fixer/</a> Kevin Flahaut on "Form layout issues in IE6" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-layout-issues-in-ie6#post-3803 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:45:47 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 3803@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Dave, Thanks for your understanding. We're trying to keep moving forward with new features and enhancements and just can't afford the time to support the older browsers. Thanks too for the kind note, it's much appreciated. davethackeray on "Form layout issues in IE6" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-layout-issues-in-ie6#post-3799 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:34:28 +0000 davethackeray 3799@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thanks Kevin - on reflection that does make complete sense. Appreciate your solid stance. I've been trying to persuade my clients to look away from IE6 now, and will be able to cite your successful expedition away from this antiquated browser as an example of the way ahead! Thanks again for your help.

The browser was released almost 9 years ago now (August 2001) and it's clearly time to move on and spend our time and effort supporting the newer versions. Gravity Forms are tested and supported in IE7 and newer versions of IE. I'm sure with the IE conditional statement and some CSS tweaking, you'll be able to overcome the minor display issues. davethackeray on "Form layout issues in IE6" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-layout-issues-in-ie6#post-3792 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:10:27 +0000 davethackeray 3792@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thanks Kevin. It's just the positioning of fields and accompanying text when they sit alongside each other that's the problem in IE6. While I'm at it the submit button seems to sit outside the 'form' container itself. An example of the form is here: <a href="http://www.thewebeditor.com/subscribe/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thewebeditor.com/subscribe/</a> To save me a heap of time on this could you drop me a note just to tell me how I can change these fields so they align neatly in IE6? I bought a developer license just a few days ago and I'm keen to get this matter resolved asap. Thanks!

You can always use the IE conditional statement to add IE6 specific styles. Just put something like this in your page header, below the wp_head() call. <pre><code></code></pre> That should get you pointed in the right direction. You can tweak the margins and values from there and add other styles in that block as necessary. davethackeray on "Form layout issues in IE6" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-layout-issues-in-ie6#post-3687 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:04:59 +0000 davethackeray 3687@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hey! Can you help figure out why text accompanying names fields are messed up stylistically at <a href="http://www.thewebeditor.com/contact/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thewebeditor.com/contact/</a> I use another Gravity Form on this site, and having all sorts of problems with the layout of this one (not just names fields, but the Country field and Zip/Postal Code) - at: <a href="http://www.thewebeditor.com/subscribe/printed-magazine/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thewebeditor.com/subscribe/printed-magazine/</a> Thanks for any help you can give me!
