hey there,

i tried some of your solutions but this will not work.

<div class='form-div'>
              <label for='file' class='file-label'>Upload your file</label>
              [cred_field field='_featured_image' class='inputfile' id="file" output='bootstrap']
          </div>

i tried to use a label with "for" and the correct id to make the label clickable. after that i want to hide via css the old upload button and style the label.
But it won´t work. the label "Upload your file" is not clickable.

Here is one of the tutorials:

Hope you can help at this point.

cheers

few more questions about the form styling:

how can i style a placeholder in a field (pic 1)?
how can i get a select field only have a straight line for the bottom border (pic2)?

I tried this the css for the border and border radius. it works on all fields but not the select fields.
the select fields still has a little border radius.

cheers

Hi Steffen,

As Christian is currently unavailable at the moment would you mind setting up two pages for me.

Once page where elementor wasn't used to add the form to your page and another page where elementor was used?

This way I can do a side by side comparison ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hey shane, thanks for stepping in.

i already didi this and there is no difference between the form within elementor and a blank site just with the form.

They act the same.

Hi Steffen,

I took another read through the ticket and saw that your latest issue was with the select field borders.

Try this.

select{
  
  border-top: none;
  border-left:none;
  border-right: none;
}

I've tested it in an editor and it works for me.

Thanks,
Shane
