Better way to style credit card fields?

    I was surprised to find that the credit card field built into Gravity Forms is extraordinarily hard to style, for two reasons. First, there are inline styles - with the !important declaration, no less - hard coded into some of the input elements. Second, there is no class name on the expiration date container or on the individual month/year select elements within it.

    Because of this, I had to hook into the credit card field input with 'gform_field_content'. Then I had to write a horrendous little script which uses DOMDocument to strip out style tags and add classes to some of the elements. It was either this or do it with JavaScript, which I did not want to do.

    Here is that script: http://pastebin.com/vmBLKgWu

    I'm pasting this here because I really hope that I'm missing something, and that there is a better way to do what I'm attempting. Please let me know if this is not the case.

  2. I'm not seeing any inline styles when I view the source of one my test forms on my dev site. Screenshot

    Also - what exactly are you trying to do to the credit card field in terms of styling? There are plenty of classes and IDs here to hook into. Do you have a link to your form?

    I'm seeing now that this may have been caused by an add-on altering the default credit card fields. I'll swing back here if that's not the case.

  4. Please let us know what add-on it turned out to be, if that was the conflict.

    Sorry for the long delay. It was the plugin. It was a custom script used by a friend to connect to a proprietary payment system; not an official add-on. All is fixed. Thanks!
