Additional field type - text only

We've had a some discussions lately about this same type of field, even earlier today. It's probably going to make one of the next releases.

@gringojason, you can always use a single, required checkbox field for the terms of service.

and to keep the form tidy, you can use a little jQuery to link your label to the TOS on another page.

<script type="text/javascript">
	jQuery(document).ready(function() {
 		jQuery(".gchoice_5_1 label").html('I have read and agree to the <a href="http://www.google.com/accounts/TOS" name="terms" target="_blank">terms and conditions</a>');
	});
 </script>

just replace "gchoice_5_1" with your your actual input class name.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I agree that some things should be added to the core. There are lots of features we plan to add as we go along, but for now, the jQuery solutions get the job done. You have to remember that Gravity Forms isn't even a year old so there's lots more to do and features to add as it matures.

Personally, I've never met anyone who browses with Javascript disabled so I'm not sure that's really a concern for about 97% of users. If they've disabled JS, then other core form functionality like conditional logic and the datepicker wouldn't work either.

As you've noted, we have already discussed adding a freeform text section that will allow you to add any HTML markup you want inline in the form. I'm not sure exactly what release that will be in, but it won't be too far down the line.

As far as a WYSIWYG editor, we may add support for that at some time as well. For now, it's easy enough to add something like NiceEdit (just 2 lines of script) to your page and enable that kind of functionality.
