Dave Roberts‌ what Im asking for here is to make the process of using Marketo forms on my website anything but an difficult process with extra unnecessary steps. We want to get forms working on our websites and we dont want to have to spend a bunch of time on removing styles in order to add our own styles. What you are proposing is what Ive already tried before. I spent a few hours trying to remove all Marketo CSS before finding the Javascript version of removing the Marketo styles(I linked that above). Trying to override all of the Marketo CSS was an absolute nightmare. The way Marketo nests elements and adds incredibly specific classes and inline styles makes it so I would almost have to use !important on every style override. And then what happens if Marketo updates any of these styles in the future, we would have some new styles introduced on our site without warning and would have to overrides those as well. If Marketo could just give us an option to use the forms without any Marketo styles then this process would be so easy to embed the form and add our styles.

Thanks for the feedback Sanford. I've created an idea here.

I have seen a few questions about this in the Marketo forums asking about this, and each time the style removal hack was commented by Sanford Whiteman. I don't see how that is a good solution for this problem. It's a work around that offers a bad user experience. I would like to request that Marketo offers an option when creating forms to allow for no styles to be attached/injected along with that particular form ID. The problem is that we want to embed marketo forms onto our sites and have the option to be able to style the forms ourselves. To do this right now the only solution has been to let Marketo inject all the style tags and inline styles into our site(there is no way to stop this) and then run some javascript to remove/disable the styles so that our own styles can work. There are multiple style tags injected to the document head and multiple inline styles injected to the form. This is a bad user experience to wait for Marketo style injection on page load, and then some more style flickering occurs when we run our own javascript to remove those styles. Can Marketo add an option into the form editor to allow for no styles? That way we can style our own forms and not have to jump through hoops to get our own styles to work.

The hiding and unhiding is just another band aid on the problem. Can we talk about how this can be fixed without having to add all these hacks to get around these styles?
