As soon as you escape the fieldset with the the conditional logic is thrown out the window.</p> <p>So I do think that this type of field could add some real value. </p> <p>;) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/true-html-block-is-there-a-way#post-232512 Wed, 01 May 2013 18:29:12 +0000 jkirker 232512@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Richard, yes, but that's still a hacky patch way of doing it leaving extra elements which don't really need to exist. ;) I'm a fan of clean.

Of course people can screw anything up so maybe you add a "use at your own risk" next to the checkbox - but it would allow for proper implementation of fieldsets and other things. I come from the cform world and they had a field like this which I found I was using all the time when I needed to "hack" something in. It would be much easier to have this option than to write filters or jQuery code on a case by case basis. </p> <p>Thanks again David. ;) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/true-html-block-is-there-a-way#post-232237 Wed, 01 May 2013 12:28:42 +0000 David Peralty 232237@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I haven't heard any discussions of that. I think the biggest worry is how that would change styling. Imagine a field being output in a "raw" mode without our wrappers, and then someone tries to use our CSS Ready class to make a bullet list three columns. It isn't going to work, and our troubleshooting would be greatly increased. </p> <p>Also, as a per-item option, it would potentially clutter the UI. If you want, I can move this to feature requests though so our development team will take a look. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/true-html-block-is-there-a-way#post-232219 Wed, 01 May 2013 12:20:15 +0000 jkirker 232219@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks David for the quick reply. I was thinking of doing it with either jQuery or a filter but was trying to avoid it. :)</p> <p>Have you guys ever considered adding a select option to the field to output only what is in the content box? I think this would be beneficial and of interest to many...and it wouldn't be that difficult to implement programmatically. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/true-html-block-is-there-a-way#post-232201 Wed, 01 May 2013 12:02:36 +0000 David Peralty 232201@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Not really. I've seen some people use JavaScript to do replacement on the HTML to strip out things they don't want so that they get closer to the output they need, but beyond that, I don't know of any way to do what you are asking. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/true-html-block-is-there-a-way#post-232192 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:51:39 +0000 jkirker 232192@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I need to add some freeform html/text between fields.</p> <p>Other than writing a filter to replace/delete unwanted output, is there a way to insert a true HTML block that isn't wrapped?</p> <p>So, instead of this:<br /> &lt;li id="field_3_53" class="gfield gfield_html gfield_html_formatted gfield_no_follows_desc"&gt;whatever</p> <p>It just outputs this:<br /> whatever</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
