  2. Not sure of an add-on coming for this, but you should be able to do this with jQuery. Do you have a link to your page with the form, or what you have so far? What specifically are you running into issues with?

    http://www.gogreenmktg.com Forgive me i'm a total NOOB

    So Following the instructions from the above link...

    I downloaded the sample page It had 3 folders in it ccs , images, and js... I placed all of the files into the directories accordingly (except the css file i just copied and pasted the code into my css)

    body{padding:0;margin:0; background:#39424b; font-family: verdana;}
    h1, h2{padding:0;margin:10px 0 10px 0;}
    h1 {font-size: 150%;}
    h2 {font-size: 110%;}
    p{padding:0; margin:0 0 5px 0;}
    a {color:#176092; text-decoration:none;}
    a:hover {text-decoration:underline;}
    #wrap {width:960px; margin: 0 auto; background:#999;}
    #header, #footer {background: #0f1923; color:#fff; padding:10px 40px;}
    #footer p {font-size:80%; text-align:right;}
    #content {background:#ccc; padding:10px 40px;}
    pre {font-size:85%; background:#fff; border:1px #ccc solid; padding:5px}

    Now i guess where i'm lost is the next part "Type the html" it gives you this code...

    <div class="slide-out-div">
    Content
    <h3>This is extra content</h3>
    <p>Something that wasn't important enough to be in your main body,
    but that you wanted to hide off the side of your screen for some reason.
    </p>
    <p>Could be a form to submit feedback, or contact info</p>
    </div>

    Its HTML so obiously i don't put it in the CSS but it doesn't tell you what file to put it in ><

    But im not sure where to put the other 2 blocks of code....

    This Block...
    <div class="slide-out-div">
    Content
    <h3>This is extra content</h3>
    <p>Something that wasn't important enough to be in your main body,
    but that you wanted to hide off the side of your screen for some reason.
    </p>
    <p>Could be a form to submit feedback, or contact info</p>
    </div>

    or this block...

    $('.slide-out-div').tabSlideOut({
    tabHandle: '.handle', //class of the element that will be your tab
    pathToTabImage: 'images/contact_tab.gif', //path to the image for the tab *required*
    imageHeight: '122px', //height of tab image *required*
    imageWidth: '40px', //width of tab image *required*
    tabLocation: 'left', //side of screen where tab lives, top, right, bottom, or left
    speed: 300, //speed of animation
    action: 'click', //options: 'click' or 'hover', action to trigger animation
    topPos: '200px', //position from the top
    fixedPosition: false //options: true makes it stick(fixed position) on scroll
    });

    Ive tryed many places havent been able to get it to work ><

    Thanks for listening :}

  4. Based on your answer above, I'd recommend posting on the job board for this customization.
    http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/forum/job-board

    First, you're not going to want to place all of that css into your theme's stylesheet - you don't need all of it. Second, the HTML part will need to go into your theme file somewhere - wherever you want this to show (either home page only or site-wide for example) and embed the Gravity Form there. You'll also need to enqueue scripts and styles for the form since you will be embedding it. See this documentation here: http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form
    Third, the JS will also need to reside in a theme file as well, either in a place where you have scripts running or in the head or footer of the site (which will depend on how you want this to show - sitewide or single page only).
