Gravity Forms Selection Box

Hi team,

I’ve created a contact form using gravity forms and have styled it using CSS. I can’t get the placeholder text on the select field to format correctly and look like the other fields. Can you please provide some insight. What I currently have is:

/* Hide required field legend in Gravity Forms */
.gform_wrapper .gform_required_legend {
display: none;
}

/* Change field descriptors color to white in Gravity Forms */
.gform-field-label {
color: #ffffff !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
font-size: 20px !important;
}

.gfield_required {
color: #ffffff !important;
}

/* Remove the box-shadow from text input fields in Gravity Forms */
.gform_wrapper input[type=“text”],
.gform_wrapper input[type=“email”],
.gform_wrapper input[type=“tel”],
.gform_wrapper textarea {
box-shadow: none !important;
border: 1px solid #a8aaac !important;
}

.gform_wrapper select { /* Target drop-down fields */
box-shadow: none !important;
border: 1px solid #a8aaac !important;

}

/* Style the submit button in Gravity Forms /
.gform_wrapper input[type=“submit”] {
background-color: #ffffff !important; /
White background color /
color: #4498aa !important; /
Text color of the button /
font-weight: bold !important;
font-size: 19px !important;
letter-spacing: .8px !important;
text-shadow: none !important; /
Remove text shadow /
border: 2px solid #ffffff !important; /
White border /
border-radius: 200px !important; /
Adjust the value for a more or less rounded appearance /
padding: 10px 20px !important; /
Adjust the padding values as needed */

}

/* Hover effect for the submit button /
.gform_wrapper input[type=“submit”]:hover {
background-color: transparent !important; /
Transparent background on hover /
border-color: #ffffff !important; /
White border on hover /
color: #ffffff !important; /
Text color of the button /
font-weight: bold !important;
font-size: 18px !important;
text-shadow: none !important; /
Remove text shadow /
transform: scale(1.04); /
Slight growth effect on hover - adjust the scale factor as needed */

}

/* Style input fields in Gravity Forms with a transparent background and bottom border /
.gform_wrapper input[type=“text”],
.gform_wrapper input[type=“tel”],
.gform_wrapper input[type=“email”],
.gform_wrapper textarea,
.gform_wrapper select {
border: none !important; /
Remove the default border /
border-bottom: 1px solid #4498aa !important; /
Add a bottom border with color #4498aa /
background: transparent !important; /
Set background color to transparent /
box-shadow: none !important; /
Remove box shadow */
}

/* Style placeholder text in Gravity Forms /
.gform_wrapper input[type=“text”]::placeholder,
.gform_wrapper input[type=“tel”]::placeholder,
.gform_wrapper input[type=“email”]::placeholder,
.gform_wrapper textarea::placeholder,
.gform_wrapper select::placeholder {
color: #4498aa !important; /
Change the color to your preferred value /
font-style: italic !important; /
Make the text italic */
}

/* Change the text color of the Gravity Forms confirmation message /
.gform_confirmation_message {
color: #ffffff !important; /
Change the color to your preferred value */
font-size: 20px !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
}

/* Change the color of the input text in Gravity Forms /
.gform_wrapper input[type=“text”],
.gform_wrapper input[type=“tel”],
.gform_wrapper input[type=“email”],
.gform_wrapper textarea,
.gform_wrapper select {
color: #1e6976 !important; /
Change the color to your preferred value */
font-size: 16px !important;
}

But it’s still showing as white with a border around it.

Thanks so much!

Ashley

Hey Ashley,

Thanks for writing in! You are using the incorrect element class. Using your browser’s Development Tool, you can check the live HTML code and find which CSS selector you need to use or what CSS code has been used to style the page.
