Form appears as a list with > next to each field

  1. http://www.brokerstitle.net/locations/tampa/ is using the Sansation theme which has > as the default list marker. So on every form the greater than character appears next to each field because it is viewed as a list. Any idea how I can correct this problem?

  2. This line of code helped.
    .gform_body li {background-image: none !important;}
    However, the fields seem to be indented in as if they are still part of a list.

  3. They are part of a list and are inheriting margins from your theme CSS. Add this to the end of your theme style sheet and you should be good to go.

    .gform_wrapper ul.gform_fields {margin:0!important; padding:0!important}
    .gform_wrapper ul.gform_fields li.gfield {margin-left:0!important; padding-left:0!important}

  5. I have the same issue and although the fields moved slightly when l copied and pasted the code to the child style.css left by Kevin the > is still present just above the text. Any ideas?

    Thanks

  6. FYI, l temporarily removed the fields that (only just) exceeded the sidebar width, but the '>' remained. When the same form loads on a full width page there is no '>'.

  7. HI Colinz, if you post a link to your form we can better help you with this. :)

  8. @colinz it sounds like your default forms.css file isn't being loaded properly. The field widths are in percentages so the textareas normally fit fine in most sidebar applications with the default styles. As David suggested, it would be really helpful to see your form so we can give you a definitive answer rather than our best guess.

  10. There is some theme-specific CSS rules that apply a background image (the > you're seeing) to list items in the sidebar. The form is inheriting from that rule. Add this to the end of your theme stylesheet and it should override the theme defaults.

    [css]
    #sidebar .gform_wrapper li, #sidebar-alt .gform_wrapper li {
    	background-image:none;
    	padding:0!important
    }
