1) How do I get the size of the input data fields to be bigger - they are not wide enough - both test and text area fields need to be longer (wider?)

2) What is causing this with the buttons - the wording is outside and the buttons are tiny - also - the submit button has decided not to submit the form - anyone know?



thanks if anyone can advise a noob here <br><br>Post edited by: scouserman, at: 2008/04/24 18:16

You're putting the Submit and Reset text in the wrong place.

delete the names from the label box. Leave those blank and put the text you want to appear on the button in the Default Value box.

There are a number of ways to make the size of the input box wider. The easiest way is to simply create a CSS Class and make the width to that which you wish.

Let's say you want all of your input boxes to be 150px wide.
Then simply create a new class (if you're following my tutorial)

#myform input {
width: 150px;
}

Buttons are fixed - cool - won't make that mistake again

Have put the new class in the stylesheet. Still playing with that - is the addition of the class all I need or do I need to also add anything at form or field level as well?

Thanks Dniezby for the work so far - you are obviously a genius

Genius? Ha, it worked...I have you fooled.

Hardly, just took the time to learn it just like everyone else.

No, you won't have to add anything to the form field's themselves. That class will affect every INPUT in your form.
