Gravity Perks Placeholder

Forms with many fields can leave visitors unsure what each box expects. Gravity Perks Placeholder adds a Placeholder setting to your Gravity Forms fields, so you can show example text inside the input itself. Visitors see the hint before they type, which makes the form clearer and easier to fill out correctly.

The plugin relies on the placeholder support already built into modern browsers, so no extra scripts are needed. Gravity Forms now handles basic placeholders itself, but this perk still matters when you need them on field types the core does not cover, such as List fields. It also works with multi-input fields like Name and Address, and it belongs to the wider Gravity Perks collection.

Features

• HTML5 placeholder text: Adds a setting to Gravity Forms fields where you enter placeholder text, shown inside the input as a hint until the visitor starts typing.
• List field support: Provides placeholders for List fields, which Gravity Forms does not handle natively, so even these more complex inputs can carry a clear hint.
• Multi-input field support: Extends placeholder text to fields made of several inputs, such as Name and Address fields, so each part can show its own guidance.
• Native browser support: Uses the placeholder feature built into modern browsers, including Firefox, Chrome and Safari, so no additional scripts are needed to display the hints.
• Setting below the field label: A Placeholder input appears directly beneath the field label setting for each field, so you can find it quickly while building a form.
• Automatic input attributes: Once you define a placeholder, the perk updates the input's HTML attributes for you, which cuts down on manual coding during form setup.
• Part of Gravity Perks: Gravity Perks Placeholder is one component of the Gravity Perks collection of add-ons for Gravity Forms, so it sits alongside other perks in the same family.

Best for

• Gravity Forms users with long, multi-field forms
• Sites using List fields that need input hints
• Developers who want placeholders without custom scripts
