Do you mean limit the number of characters in each field? I believe we used number fields. Those can be limited to a range of numbers (like 1 to 1000) but that validation occurs after the form is submitted.</p> <p>If you want to use text fields, you can limit the number of characters which can be entered by the user. You can see that actually on the fields beneath the inline block of fields (where it says "0 of 3 max characters", for example.)</p> <p>If you want to limit the number of characters entered, you can use a text field and the character limit, or use a text field with an input mask. Using numbers won't work if you want to limit the number of characters which can be entered. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-background-colour-of-a-form#post-116871 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:43:47 +0000 Stevem 116871@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris</p> <p>Many thanks for this and it is now my new years task..</p> <p>Can you restrict the number of input numbers in each box?</p> <p>I will try to work out how to implement this tonight. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-background-colour-of-a-form#post-72793 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 16:15:54 +0000 Chris Hajer 72793@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Take a look at this form online:<br /> <a href="http://gravity.chrishajer.com/special-layout-for-inline-fields/" rel="nofollow">http://gravity.chrishajer.com/special-layout-for-inline-fields/</a></p> <p>Here is the CSS to make that happen:<br /> <a href="http://pastebin.com/8YJKeh2A" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/8YJKeh2A</a></p> <p>Please note you will have to change the form ID from 140, and verify all the field numbers are correct.</p> <p>Here is an XML export of the form.

Are you OK with two fields (top line and bottom lin) as you have it, so long as they are side by side, or would you prefer it to be 7 distinct inputs? We can work it out either way. Let me know that, and please export the form as XML (Import/Export menu, then Export Forms in the top menu) and email it to <a href="mailto:chris@rocketgenius.com">chris@rocketgenius.com</a> - I would like to install it and see what we can do with your request. Thank you. </p>
