    how do I add icons to / remove icons form fields? 


    Currently, our first form 'Sign Up' has them there for the 'first name' and 'email' fields, but I can't work out how to add and remove them.


    Thanks

    I assume this is the form that you are referring to: https://www.jotform.com/81955888884382

    Upon checking, the icons beside the name and email fields are added by injecting a custom CSS. In order to add or remove one, you need to know about html page styling. However, if you are still beginning to learn about CSS, we can help you on your first steps.

    May I know which field are you planning to add/remove icons? If you are going to add icons, please share to us the icon image.

    Thank you.

    I found all the 'CSS' bits in the form builder, but I couldn't work out which bits of code were for each box. I was looking for #input_17 because that's what was listed as the field ID :S

    Hello,

    Here are the icons' links on your form's code:

    If you want to use different icons, you may replace the links with new ones. 

    We could help if you tell us what exactly you want to implement on your form.

    Thank you!

    I assumed you meant something similar to this

    You can do it by adding these CSS codes on your form.

    #cid_9:before {

        content : url('https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/uploads-eu.hipchat.com/46354/310582/tKAptApa5nRK6tz/Screen%20Shot%202014-09-26%20at%203.54.38%20PM.png');

        position : absolute;

        top : 7px;

        left : 45px;

        width : 46px;

        height : 38px;

    }


    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Thank you! That has worked. How did you know that it was #cid_9? 

    When I was looking at the form field, All I could see was that the form ID was #input_17

    In the field property Advanced tab, you can check the field Unique Name and Field ID.
