They are display elements that are only shown on the front end of your site when the form is displayed. They are presentation elements.</p> <p>If you explain what you are trying to accomplish in more detail we can see if there is an easy way for you to accomplish what you are trying to do. Right now i'm not 100% sure what you are trying to do or what the end result is supposed to be. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/i-added-a-signature-line-under-some-html-text-and-i-cant-get-them-to-show-up#post-41281 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:43:23 +0000 davry21 41281@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is it possible to show the HTML and signature lines in the "Entries" section of Gravity Forms and just print it from there?</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/i-added-a-signature-line-under-some-html-text-and-i-cant-get-them-to-show-up#post-41277 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:08:47 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 41277@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Only form input field values are passed to the notification emails. The HTML fields aren't form data so they're not part of the entry. If you want to put the HTML text in your email, you'll need to manually format your notification and include it there.</p> <p>Secondly, using form inputs in HTML emails is generally considered a security risk and is either discouraged or simply not supported in some clients.</p> <p><a href="http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/post/2435/how-forms-perform-in-html-emai/" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/post/2435/how-forms-perform-in-html-emai/</a></p> <p>You could always style a div with a bottom border or for the signature or simply use an image of some sort for a signature section. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/i-added-a-signature-line-under-some-html-text-and-i-cant-get-them-to-show-up#post-41276 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:52:48 +0000 davry21 41276@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Two issues:</p> <p>1. Can't get the HTML text to show up on the email submission - I saw in another post that a user got around this by using check boxes. I prefer not to use check boxes as the description text on check boxes is in small italics, the formatting is different, and I don't need a check box. Is there any other way to do this?</p> <p>2. I put a signature and date line under the HTML text using text boxes with the CSS Class Names of pform-sign and pform-date. I want these to only be visible on the email, so that I can print it out and have the client sign them when they come in. I can't get them to show up when I check "Visibility - Admin Only" or even when I check "Visibility - Everyone"........in the email. </p>
