When you first start off with Gravity Forms, their various tooltips come in handy to inform you what certain fields and features can and cannot do.

Tooltips are those little popup messages which appear when you hover your cursor over those little question mark icons (or any programmed element for that matter).

Within the Gravity Forms WordPress administrative backend these icons appear at the end of may form fields and labels. Again, these are handy for the uninitiated, but tend to appear in front of and block fields that you may be attempting to edit. Thus they quickly become an annoyance and time wasting feature. That is why we looked into disabling them. All of them.

For convenience, most web browsers save what information you previously submitted on website forms so that the next time you are filling in a form you only need to select the entry from a drop down list of choices.

With date fields on Gravity Forms it generally displays the calendar below the input field.

We may have a solution. Try using the snippet within this article to turn off the autocomplete feature on:

1. the entire form
2. a specific form
3. a specific form field

Keep in mind that this snippet may not work on all browsers and they constantly revise how they handle such fields.

If a visitor submits a form and there is an error the form will reload the page or post and return to the top. The visitor would then be required to scroll down the page or post to see if any errors were generated. Many times, they do not do this and incorrectly assume that the form was submitted successfully.

To resolve this issue we would simply need to append the following text to our WordPress Gravity Forms shortcode: ajax=”true”
