Minimum Age?

  1. Hi
    I have a form where people registers to volunteer but they must be 18 and over.

    Right now I'm using the number field and putting the min range to 18 but it says: Please enter a value greater than or equal to 18. I don't want that text.

    Is there any way to use the Date field to have a minimum age thing?

    No, the way you are doing it is correct. You would have to custom code something to parse the user selected date, or come up with JavaScript to limit the calendar to allowed values only. Either solution would be outside of forum support, and in the real of coding customization.

  3. I see. Thanks.

    Is there any way to delete the text "Please enter a value greater than or equal to 18" ?

    Do you want any error? You can change it using the Validation Message under advanced on the field. If you don't want it to say anything, you can just add a space into the field.

  5. To hide the description where it tells the visitor what sort of number they need to enter (your "Please enter a value greater than or equal to 18" text) you can add this to one of your theme's stylesheets:

    [css]
    body .gform_wrapper #field_315_1 div.instruction {
     display: none;
    }

    Change 315 to your form ID and 1 to your field ID. You can view the source of the page with your form on it to get those IDs if you need them, or you can find them in the form builder as well. If you have trouble with it, please provide a link to your form.

    This is the CSS I added to one of your theme's stylesheets:

    [css]
    body .gform_wrapper li#field_10_39 .gfield_description {
    	display: none;
    }
