    Daniel,

    Check out the "gf_scroll_text" ready class information here:

    Also there is a tos plugin for gravity forms which I find works really well. It keeps a copy of the legal stuff in the entry which could be handy. I am not sure but I don't think using scroll text permits this.

    You can also send the tos through in notifications using the plugin (again not sure if this is possible with section breaks and scroll text)

    Rob,

    thank you! It works.

    Just another quick question: If I want to bold text, insert URLs, etc. I just use HTML?
    I tried
    and it works fine. I tried and <b></b> and it does not work.

    tcs: thank you, but I have a personal license, so I can not dl addons. I just need to display the TOS. Thats it. Underneath I have a checkbox to tick that user agrees with the above TOS.

    Try using the strong tag perhaps rather than b?

    I tried doing this to a section break field but every time i try to update my form it deletes the legal text I entered. How can I fix this?

    What about using an HTML field instead and then we just style that field. The ready class I gave you was more for when you have a really insanely large amount of text, so it auto scrolls in a confined area. I see your text here is not very large, so an HTML field may better suit your needs.

    The tos plugin is a free one. I thought personal license was ok for free gf addons ?

    The TOS add-on was not created by Gravity Forms (Rocketgenius.) The terms of the license and any associated cost is up to the developer. Can you post a link to it please?

    However, there is no reason to use an additional plugin to provide a TOS check box.

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-terms-of-service-field/ is the tos addon I am using.

    I was unable to find any other way using standard gravity forms fields and functionality to get scrollable terms of service AND store those in the entry and email them back to the customer.

    HTML fields or section breaks with CSS classes used to display tos don't seem to allow the precise details of the tos to be stored or used in notifications.

    I would guess a lot of people would want to store and notify agreed terms.

    If I am wrong and gf does this let me know as i agree with not using a plugin if you don't need one.

    If you want to store them with the entry and having the textarea be scrollable, then using the TOS plugin is the way to go. HTML elements added to the form through the form builder are not stored with the entry. You're doing it correctly.
