You need to put your script in the markup AFTER the jQuery library gets loaded then it should work for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-can-i-move-the-description-to-be-above-the-field#post-20156 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 16:29:36 +0000 pcgs51 20156@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Kevin,</p> <p><a href="http://priscillac.com/services/client-services/design-brief/" rel="nofollow">Here the URL to my form</a>.

I found this post and put your script (seen here) into the head area of my theme. I'm using Thesis and put it in the Document Head&gt;Additional Scripts box. But I see no changes as I edit the form nor do I see any changes when I preview the form.</p> <p>I'm using WordPress 3.1 with Gravity 1.5.RC4.2 (I needed the page break feature). Any thoughts how to make this work? Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-can-i-move-the-description-to-be-above-the-field#post-11313 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 01:00:33 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 11313@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You might just try this instead.. put this in your theme header file and it should move all of the descriptions for you instead of having to do it manually.</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt; jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery(&#39;.gfield_description&#39;).each(function(i,e){ fielddesc = jQuery(&#39;&lt;div&gt;&#39;).append(jQuery(e).clone()).remove().html(); jQuery(e).siblings(&#39;label.gfield_label&#39;).after(fielddesc); jQuery(e).remove(); }); }); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>Also, you're fields id is found in the markup. View the source, locate the field you want and you'll see the id in line with the other attributes. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-can-i-move-the-description-to-be-above-the-field#post-11303 Sat, 16 Oct 2010 14:06:22 +0000 nick017 11303@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>How do I make a field description appear above the field instead of below.</p> <p>I'm trying to follow the directions here:</p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-create-single-checkbox-that-is-required-for-confirming-tc-for-example#post-2207" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-create-single-checkbox-that-is-required-for-confirming-tc-for-example#post-2207</a></p> <p>I took the css code from that thread and pasted it into forms.css like this:<br /> <a href="http://www.pastie.org/1226089" rel="nofollow">http://www.pastie.org/1226089</a></p> <p>Now how do I find my Title field's field id? </p>
