Compatible with Gravity Forms v1.7.2 and requires at least v1.5 of Gravity Forms.

Ready Classes were introduced in Gravity Forms 1.5. Using these new classes, you can easily create more advanced alternative layouts for the fields in your forms. Excellent idea, however, the problem is you always need to remember what the exact class name is. Now with the CSS Ready class selector, you don't need to remember. Simply click on a button to launch the popup and choose the class you want to add from the list.

This plugin features a convenient button added under the advanced tab next to the CSS Class Name field. It provides a clean and simple popup that lists all the Ready Classes. You can add more than one Ready Class and double click a Ready Class to add it and auto-close the popup.
