Making this form

This should help you out with your placeholder text:

You should also be able to position your submit button via CSS.

Here is a reference: http://www.gravityhelp.com/resources/cssguide/css_guide.html

I got some help over at Headway. There is no need to add a header.php as there is a place to add the script in the back end. That part is done.

Question 1: Where can I target the placeholder text (only) to change its color. I am not seeing it in the CSS without it changing the text color of what the user would enter.

Question 2: Is this working correctly? The text does not disappear. It did the first few times but no longer, and it never did with iOS hardware.

Question 3: I'm still having trouble getting the button next to and inside the border with the placeholder text (and for some reason I have forgotten how to add a link here). Are we sure this can be done?

Question 4: If I find that Q.3 cannot be done the next option is to allow the person to enter their email address in the field and just hit the enter button on their keyboard. The placeholder text would read: "Enter your email, the press enter". Is this possible and if so, how?

You could always position the submit button with a float and a negative margin, or you could position it absolutely, this was just a quick test in chrome dev tools:

[css]
.gform_footer.top_label {
float: right;
margin-top: -46px;
}

You can get more specific on that selector if you don't want it to take place on all forms, the above is a more generic selector.

I viewed your source and see the JS snippet for the value clear, but don't see any reference to a jquery file itself, which you will need in tandem.

As far as the input goes, you can target the input to have a color (right now the placeholder is using that same input color because there is no difference HTML/CSS-wise between the two). There are some techniques out there that will allow you to place the label in the input as placeholder text and then you could try clearing that and using the input color for a different style. Seems like an awful-lot of trouble for that, but if that's what you'd like to do - go for it my friend.

Must have had a dead brain moment, you should be able to target the input {} and then input:focus {}

[css]
body.custom #block-2 input#input_1_1.large {
color: red;
}
body.custom #block-2 input#input_1_1.large:focus {
color: green;
}
