Form Layout

    I have a unique situation that I need some advise on how to fix. Here is the scenario:

    The gravity form is used as a lead generating form for a company that telemarkets. Currently the process they use is a split screen with the gravity form in the right hand pane, and the other pane that runns the their dialing software. When the obtain lead information they simply enter data into the gravity form and voila they get an email of the lead data. This works great!!!

    HOWEVER - we want to take it to the next step.

    The next step:
    The propietary dialing software has the ability to incorporate and disply the gravity lead form inside the dialing software so there will be no need for a split screen and duplicate entry.

    The issue:
    When incorporated into the dialing software the display of the form fields are all messed up and this is what I received from the software developer.

    "The form is not displaying properly because this page is not use standard Table width size. They use a tag <DIV></DIV> to make the position of the each box .
    So I just wonder if the page can be designed with tag <TABLE></TABLE> for each text box?"

    I am sure this is an easy fix, but before I start tearing things down I am looking for the correct solution?

    Here is the link to a sample form . http://gpsinsurancemarketing.com/integration-sample

    FYI: The display error looks identical to a recent problem that was simply solved by upgrading to ie8 from ie7 a few weeks ago.

    Thank you in advance for your help with this.

  2. Hi jmlynaek04,

    I would avoid a table based layout for a variety of reasons, but the most significant in this scenario would be the amount of time required to accomplish the feat. Converting the form to a table based layout would only be possible using something like jQuery to "rewrite" the form on page load.

    I think the better solution would be just to figure out where the styling conflicts are coming from and fix them. If neither you or your developer are CSS gurus, you might consider hiring a front end developer to take a look.

    If you decide to tackle it yourself, feel free to share specific styling issues and we can assist you.
