    1. Work in Lightbox?
    2. I will be using this form so that travelers can choose to and from dates. I currently use plugin that is causing errors and I hope this can fix it.
    a) If a user selects a starting (from) day in the past, form errors
    b) If a user selects a future (to) day that is previous to the from day, the form errors.
    c) The form displays the number of days in the interval between the from and to days for the traveler to see.
    d) have a confirmation screen where the user must double check this input.

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Yes. After your purchase you will be be able to find other's experience making Gravity Forms in a modal window (lightbox, thickbox, fancybox, etc.) There are some posts on the Internet as well. Here's one: http://websitesetuppro.com/how-to-open-gravity-forms-form-in-a-lightbox/

    2a/b/c. The date picker function is the standard jQuery date picker and I do not it believe it has that level of functionality. It would not error out, but it would not work as you expected either. The date functions are not very robust or advanced and are something we'd like to improve in the future.

    2d. A confirmation screen is not included in Gravity Forms.

    It sounds like you need more of a booking/reservation solution than the simple date picker included in Gravity Forms. You might be interested in this topic:

    Unfortunately, I believe that will be inaccessible until you have made a purchase, if you decide to. I don't believe Gravity Forms is the right solution for your booking needs.
