I can do the customized layout just fine but I'm not sure what do to about the input fields I need to put in the HTML. Can I just add any fields I want and they'll get passed correctly or is there something unique I have to do for Gravity Forms? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/need-help-with-creating-a-table-form#post-70227 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 16:56:47 +0000 Rob Harrell 70227@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No problem, I'm going to leave this post open so you can post back with how it goes. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/need-help-with-creating-a-table-form#post-70218 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 16:07:04 +0000 tmaculate1 70218@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Disregard my last post.

Even if you were to get this laid out with some trickery using HTML fields and such, you wouldn't be able to line up the data or match up what is what in the entry.</p> <p>I'd suggest you try and do some convincing as to why this format wouldn't work on the web, as this layout lends itself to print. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/need-help-with-creating-a-table-form#post-70187 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 13:52:29 +0000 tmaculate1 70187@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have been using GF for quite a while now and have never needed to create a table layout until now and I am completely confused on what to do.</p> <p>The layout should look similar to this screen shot: <a href="http://jabridesign.net/img/table-form.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://jabridesign.net/img/table-form.jpg</a></p> <p>I tried using the List field but I am unable to add titles to the left side of the table like it has in the screen shot.</p> <p>Any help at all with this would be greatly appreciated! </p>
