Thanks so much! Ok, so I use Firebug to identify the ID's of the other fields and add those to the same css. </p> <p>Is it possible then to also control the exactly width of the single line text field? I notice that sometimes 'small' means something different than 'small' in another single line text field. It seems to depend on what class is applied that defines the 'small' 'medium' and 'large'. I'd like to make it just wide enough to match the width of the text above that says 'initial here'. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-achieve-single-check-box-next-to-multiline-paragraph#post-328810 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:27:20 +0000 Rob Harrell 328810@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks, let's actually mess with the gf_left_half and gf_right_half combo first. Apply those two classes to your last grouping of initial field and HTML field above that last one with the description. Then try dropping this into your theme's stylesheet (or wherever you place custom styles at the theme level) and let me know if that's acceptable:</p> <pre><code>[css] #field_1_237 { width: 10%; } #field_1_238 { width: 90%; margin-top: 20px; }</code></pre> <p><a href="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s212/sh/4d4aa9a9-92b8-4f67-8fe7-51f12677b516/81cdba58ef8e962ee555e4d544ed9c5e" rel="nofollow">Result</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-achieve-single-check-box-next-to-multiline-paragraph#post-328800 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:06:58 +0000 rd458 328800@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Scroll down to last section. You will see I did both options. For the last one, I placed the paragraph in the description field. In the other examples, I placed the paragraph in a separate HTML field beside the single line text field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-achieve-single-check-box-next-to-multiline-paragraph#post-328782 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:43:02 +0000 Rob Harrell 328782@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We should be able to do this with some custom CSS. Go ahead and set your field up with a label and place your text in the description area of this field that you'd like to show to the right. Once you've done that, hook me up with a link to your form page. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-achieve-single-check-box-next-to-multiline-paragraph#post-328774 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:31:16 +0000 rd458 328774@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here is a photoshop of what I'm hoping to achieve.</p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/n5vqoro" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/n5vqoro</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-achieve-single-check-box-next-to-multiline-paragraph#post-328712 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:24:22 +0000 rd458 328712@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am building a form that needs a bit of a unique layout. I need a text field, next to a large paragraph of text. I need the text box to stand without title or description. For this particular form, the text field is one of those "Initial to the box at the left if you agree to the following statements....(paragraph with six sentences)."</p> <p>I tried gf_left_half and gf_right_half classes, but of course that separates the box from the paragraph with a lot of white space. I tried gf_inline, but then the paragraph appeared below the box, instead of next to the box.</p> <p>Also, is is possible to have to have a text field with no description or title? I tried deleting the title but it defaults to 'untitled'.</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
