long form and no scrollbar...

  1. Hi,

    I embedded a long form on a page, the form shows and off course flows down outside of the initial screen, BUT... the right-side scrollbar, which is present in all other pages of the site, has dissapeared... so I can't go down and see the entire form.
    Using TAB to jump forward to next fields works though, and does scroll down the page

    can you help getting back my scrollbar?

    Thanks!

  2. Please post a URL to your form and we'll be happy to take a look at it. It's probably in some container that's positioned absolutely and thus flows beyond the browser boundary.

  3. Gravity Forms has nothing to do with the browser scrollbar functionality and nobody else has reported an issue such as this so any issue is going to be due to something within your WordPress theme.

    If you post a link to a page where we can see this happening we would be glad to take a look and see if we notice anything out of place.

  5. Okay, didn't realize this was for the same site I was working on the other issue. I'm testing your theme locally here now. This looks like it's the scrollbar replacement script. Apparently it dynamically sets the page height on load and this is happening just before the form loads.. thus it won't scroll to accommodate it. If you resize the window after you've loaded the page, it resets and scrolls fine.

  6. THanks Kevin,
    is there a way to "automatically" resize the window so the scrollbar status refreshes? I need the user to see the form correctly off course :-)

    and while we're at it - another tiny question: how can I eliminate the AM/PM bit in the Time Field? I want to get just the HH and MM - need to manually edit any of the phps?

    thanks a lot !

  7. I emailed you with a fairly detailed description of the changes. I never could recreate the scrolling issue locally with the copy of the theme you sent. I did find a setting in the scrollpane script that might fix the issue. Again, I explained further in the email.

    I did however find a few things that needed to be updated and I sent back a revised version of your theme with the changes implemented. I included this in the email as well, but for future reference, you can target elements via their unique field id this way.

    #field_1_16 .gfield_time_ampm {display:none;}

    That should hide the am/pm select you didn't need to display

    I'll look forward to hearing how it all works for you.
