  3. @msweber - you posted just 5 hours ago. You need to be a bit more patient. That was even before our posted support hours. We'll be happy to help out, but you have to give us an opportunity. There are lots of other support requests that came in before yours and we're rolling through them as quickly as possible.

    We're going to be officially dropping support for IE7 - moving to a policy of only supporting the current version of the browser and one version back. I'll still be happy to take a look. The forms normally work fine in IE7 so it's most likely a conflict with something in your theme.

    Do the forms work properly in the form preview window?

  4. Our forms.css has IE7 in mind, however you are not using our forms.css file in your themes so you are going to have to account for IE7 in your stylesheet.

    At the top of each form container div, we output the browser, for example:

    <div class='gf_browser_ie gf_browser_ie7 gform_wrapper' id='gform_wrapper_1' >

    So you can write IE7 rules to adjust and update your styling to work in there without relying on crazy CSS hacks. You can also reference our forms.css file in the plugin folder to see if anything in there aids you.

    Part of your problem is being caused by the following rule in your style.css

    body #gform_wrapper_5 .gform_body .gform_fields .gfield .ginput_container {
        max-height: 12px;
        }

    Try commenting out that rule and see what happens by adding /* before and */ after the rule like so

    /*
    body #gform_wrapper_5 .gform_body .gform_fields .gfield .ginput_container {
        max-height: 12px;
        }
    */

    thank you very much. I follow your suggestion and it did the trick. It does not look one to one like in firefox, but the form is not broken and it looks good. For the 2% of people still using IE7 its enough :-)
