Placeholder-support is a must-have for a form plugin! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/placeholder-text#post-77906 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:56:27 +0000 wilmoth77 77906@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Just wanted to throw in my +1 on adding placeholder support.</p> <p>I hope that when it is added that it is NOT just like the gravity-forms-placeholder-plugin on wp.org, but instead allows you to enter in custom placeholder text and not just simply use the field label and then hide the original field label. </p> <p>For example. If the field label was Phone: I'd like to be able to add whatever place holder I want, such as (xxx) xxx-xxxx. With the plugin it just puts "Phone" in the input field and hides the Phone label. </p> <p>The placeholder plugin is handy, but I'm sure you guys will have a much better implementation! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/placeholder-text#post-76251 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 04:13:06 +0000 jb510 76251@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>+1 on adding placeholder support. HTML5 is pretty widely adopted: <a href="http://caniuse.com/#feat=input-placeholder" rel="nofollow">http://caniuse.com/#feat=input-placeholder</a></p> <p>The .org plugins function but are honestly awful... The FLUC (Flash of Unstyled Content) is ugly as sin and as best as I can tell you can't style the placeholders since they're getting injected by JS after the fact. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/placeholder-text#post-75215 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 21:25:36 +0000 Chris Hajer 75215@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>When HTML 5 is more widely adopted it will probably be included in Gravity Forms. Right now, there are workarounds if you need the functionality. </p> <p><a href="http://www.wduffy.co.uk/jLabel/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wduffy.co.uk/jLabel/</a><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/placeholder-text#post-75212 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 20:49:51 +0000 switchyard 75212@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It would be ideal to be able to add to the "placeholder" value of inputs via the form builder. </p>
