Yet i still need advice on the formula (see above). And is there a way to change textsize and style inside the &lt;textarea&gt; tag, maybe even without CSS which i am not familiar with? The predefined text comes out tiny in my form on:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ra-plutte.de/online-markenanmeldung/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ra-plutte.de/online-markenanmeldung/</a><br /> PW: npl2012 </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/placeholder-text-not-disappearing-user-editable#post-83639 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 09:17:08 +0000 Nick 83639@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Maybe this testsite (<a href="http://www.ra-plutte.de/test/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ra-plutte.de/test/</a>) helps to understand what i am looking for. Basicly its about three things. </p> <p>1. Users can choose out of 45 text fields, which class (=text field) they want to use for their trademark registration </p> <p>while</p> <p>2. they are able to edit the text inside the fields (now that i know checkboxes are not editable, i am looking for a comparable function).</p> <p>3. The number of positively "checked" fields has to correspond with the actual trademark fee, like i described it above. Probably i need to implement a background-calculation. </p> <p>The function is:</p> <p>User picks 1, 2 or 3 classes = 300,00 € (basic fee)<br /> Every extra class = 100,00 € (additional fee)</p> <p>(i.e. 1 class = 300,00 € / 3 classes = 300,00 € / 5 classes = 500,00 €)</p> <p>On all three issues i need held. And please excuse my poorly description. I am not quite fully into GF yet - but will be soon ;) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/placeholder-text-not-disappearing-user-editable#post-83518 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 00:00:39 +0000 Nick 83518@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Cool, thanks man! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/placeholder-text-not-disappearing-user-editable#post-83516 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 23:53:38 +0000 Chris Hajer 83516@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I got hung up on the end goal there. I figured if that were not possible why spend time on the rest. Let me reread the earlier questions and provide some advice. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/placeholder-text-not-disappearing-user-editable#post-83514 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 23:51:05 +0000 Nick 83514@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for your quick response Chris. </p> <p>Actually I am not focused on the checkbox function at all, that was just my guess. I am pretty new to GF, that's why I may have used wrong technical terms in the description. My point is: Do you see any other way to solve the problem or do you know posts, where a similar problem was discussed previously? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/placeholder-text-not-disappearing-user-editable#post-83487 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 22:49:27 +0000 Chris Hajer 83487@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Regarding your last word: checkbox values are not editable by the visitor on the front end. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/placeholder-text-not-disappearing-user-editable#post-83485 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 22:47:49 +0000 Nick 83485@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>PS. One more word to clarify my aim: The ideal solution would be 45 checkboxes, each with its general class description - once checked by user the text should be editable for the user. Be great if this is possible.. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/placeholder-text-not-disappearing-user-editable#post-83468 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 22:17:40 +0000 Nick 83468@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am setting up a webform for online ordering of trademarks. Short background: Trademarks are organized in 45 classes, each comes along with a "general class description", i.e.</p> <p>Class 35<br /> Advertising; business management; business administration; office functions.</p> <p>Now some people may want to only register their trademark for lets say "Advertising" while others may want to add more specific words.</p> <p>Depending on how many classes the user checks positive, the official trademark fee increases in the following way: 1-3 classes cost 300,00 €, every additional class in 100,00 € extra, i.e. 5 Classes = 500,00 € or 2 Classes = 300,00 €.</p> <p>1. Question: Is it possible to create user-editable text fields with non disappearing Placeholder text (Placeholder=General class Description)? Which function do you recommend?</p> <p>Parallel the amount of positive checked classes must to be connected to the official fee costs. I want to display the individual costs inside the ordering process, so Users know the live-calculated costs prior to checkout. </p> <p>2. Question: Any suggestions on how to define a formula regarding this connection?</p> <p>Looking forward to your answers. Cheers </p>
