That way, if JavaScript is disabled they see the labels. If it isn't, they don't see them. Simple CSS like:</p> <p><code>.js label {display: none}</code></p> <p>And jquery like:</p> <p><code>jQuery(&quot;.gform_wrapper&quot;).addClass(&#39;.js&#39;);</code> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/manually-build-a-form-inside-page-template#post-55161 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 23:38:05 +0000 Andrew Munro 55161@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks, yeah I've seen a few but it bugs me that if javascript was turned off on the user's browser, there would be no placeholders, and no text at all, just blank input fields. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/manually-build-a-form-inside-page-template#post-55159 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 23:36:11 +0000 kyle 55159@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Personally, I'd just use a standard form, and then add placeholders using JavaScript if you really feel you need them. It would be a lot less work, and less error prone, I'm sure.</p> <p>Tons of results for jquery add placeholder on google. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/manually-build-a-form-inside-page-template#post-55158 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 23:09:05 +0000 Andrew Munro 55158@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>still not having any luck, any ideas? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/manually-build-a-form-inside-page-template#post-54555 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 00:32:58 +0000 Andrew Munro 54555@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What I'm wanting to do is manually build a form inside a WP page template. I want to do this so 1. I can use utilise html5 placeholder (I realise GF does not support this yet)<br /> 2. Make the forms html a lot simpler (without all the classes, li's and such)</p> <p>It's just a very simple form and I see if I copy and paste the raw html after building it (from firebug) it works but I don't get validation and the thanks message. How can I manually add the validation and thanks message back in? </p>
