In his example, the "default" text didn't clear. It wasn't actually in the input element at all, just absolutely positioned over it to give that illusion.</p> <p>Thanks for sharing the link though. He may want to explore that possibility. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/modify-the-form-layout#post-48654 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:42:17 +0000 scott74 48654@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is this what yo are talking about<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/clearing-default-form-field-values-with-jquery/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/clearing-default-form-field-values-with-jquery/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/modify-the-form-layout#post-48636 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:42:55 +0000 Matt 48636@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Kevin,</p> <p> Thanks for the quick reply. I was rooting through the code and I was hoping it wasn't going to be that hard but oh well. Back to the drawing board to think of how I'm going to setup my Contact Page. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/modify-the-form-layout#post-48631 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:21:00 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 48631@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Matt,</p> <p>There's no easy way to do that. It looks they're using some CSS trickery (absolute positioning) of a "placeholder" div with the title to get it in the input. They're then padding each input enough to allot for the space it takes up. </p> <p>screenshot: <a href="http://bit.ly/yj1eP8" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/yj1eP8</a></p> <p>You can do it the same way, but if it's a large form it's going to be a bit of work. It's going to take a bunch of custom CSS rules and some of the HTML fields to add the extra divs &amp; other markup in there. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/modify-the-form-layout#post-48627 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:10:53 +0000 Matt 48627@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm wanting to put the titles of my form items inside the form itself. Is there an easy way to do this? My friend is using PancakeApp for Invoicing and this is where I got the idea from.</p> <p>You can see a working demo of the site here <a href="http://pancakeapp.com/demo/admin/clients/create" rel="nofollow">http://pancakeapp.com/demo/admin/clients/create</a> . Click on Client and then Add Client. </p>
