[resolved] Advanced fields styling

  1. Hi I'm new. Loving GF so far. Building my first form. Going great. BUT...

    The advanced fields don't seem to be inheriting the styling that's working for Standard fields.

    Is there a problem with using a standard field and titling it "email" or "website" as opposed to using the prefab advanced fields. If not, problem solved. If it would break functionality for something down the road somewhere then, how do I resolve this?

  2. Even more obvious on the iPad than the desktop

  3. The advanced fields offer validation for the specific content type such as checking to make sure an email address is in a valid format. The standard fields are just freeform text and don't offer this kind of validation. You can use a standard field if you prefer without any problems.

    The styling difference you're seeing is due to the fact that your theme has styled inputs by type, but has left some of them out.. I'm sure it's doing input[type="text"]:property and so on. These fields are a different type - email, url & tel.

    If you go to your theme style sheet and add similar rules for these input types, you should be good to go.

    Here's a good list of the current input types.
