TOPIC: How Do I Widen Text Column

How Do I Widen Text Column 14 years 6 months ago #8897

How do I widen the text/caption column? It is too narrow and doesn't look right. Also, the labels for my radio buttons are not lining up...any ideas why?

Thanks -

Jackie

Hello Jackie

Think I stumbled across the solution to this issue a couple of days ago. The width of the caption column is governed by this <DIV> label <div class="formCaption"> (provided you use inline (XHTML) formatting) which you can find in the "Form layout" tab. In the CSS file (components/rs_form/front.css) you will see that this resolves into:

div.formCaption {
display: block;
float: left;
width: 25%;
height: 12px;
}

So you can simply edit this file but that will make the change global for all your forms. Another option would be to override the "width" property in the Form Layout Tab (Do not forget to disable "Auto generate layout" first). Thus instead of having
  • <div class="formCaption">

you could try
  • <div class="formCaption" style="width: 40%">

Sorry I have no idea about the other issue.

Yours
Claus

If you uncheck Auto Generate Layout then you can take your data place in Dreamweaver or HTML editor and create layout using tables for example:

<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="22%">{body:caption}
{body:body}<BR>
{body:validation}<BR>
{body:description}</td>
<td width="31%">{Name:caption}<BR>
{Name:body}<BR>
{Name:validation}<BR>
{Name:description}<BR></td>
<td width="47%">{Address:caption}<BR>
{Address:body}<BR>
{Address:validation}<BR>
{Address:description}</td>
</tr>
</table>
