Spacing Things Out So the Form Looks Organized? 16 years 11 months ago #4240

Hi!

Is there a guide or tutorial to show how to space things out so that the form is readable and looks good? My form is quite jumbled looking.

Replace # with t

Thanks!

The key is the Field Style - by default it is filled by a row in a table that contains separate cells for the field title & validation sign, the field itself, and the description. But I often get rid of the description (the title is usually self-explanatory, and I don't want it way over in it's own table column anyway), and sometimes even the title. Attached is a screenshot of a form that I did a lot of Field Style mods to (it's not stylish, but it's a restricted form for use by only one or two people, so I didn't bother). If I kept the description at all, I put it in the same cell as the field, because I wanted any hints to be noticed immediately. And some fields have only the field itself - no title, validation sign, or description - and multiple fields are in the same table row, by removing the closing </td></tr> in the one field's Style and the opening <tr><td> of the next one. You get the idea. You can put any HTML you want in those Styles boxes, and in the Form Style as well (visible when you are editing the form, rather than one of the fields), which formats the outer table definition, the form title, etc.
