    Thanks again, the only other question I had is whether it would be possible to hide the party size. So that the customer only sees HOW MANY PEOPLE and the QUOTE?

     

    Thanks!

    Yes, you can easily hide a form field. The easiest method is to simply click on a field, click it's down-pointing arrow, and select Hide Field:

    If you are already using our Form Builder V4, you can hide a field by clicking on its Properties (1), switching to the Advanced tab (2), and scrolling down (3):

    At the bottom of the advanced tab, you'll see the option to hide the field:

    These instructions are pretty much the same for other form fields as well, so if you need to hide any other fields, you can apply the same steps. please try it out, and should you need assistance with anything else, simply open a support thread in our forum anytime:

    Thanks! Last question is how would i remove the border around the form. Currently it's a 1px blue line.

    You can remove the border by adding the following line of CSS to your form:

    .supernova .form-all, .form-all {
        border: 0;
    }

    You can inject CSS into the form by following this guide:

    To also remove the line between the Heading and the Name field, you could add this code as well:

    .form-header-group {
        border: 0;
    }
