Country Field in Sidebar Widget

    Hi There,

    I've added this text to my style sheet to make the fields small to fit the sidebar of this site when I add a form using the form widget:

    http://www.haskettfh.com/penny-louise-charron/

    #sidebar .ginput_container textarea { width: 250px; }

    Any suggestions to pull in the size of the country field?

    thanks

  2. Try this - setting a maximum width on the select element

    [css]
    #r_sidebar .gform_wrapper select {
        max-width: 155px!important;
    }

  3. I also added this because the other fields were breaking out of the sidebar as well:

    #r_sidebar .gform_wrapper input[type=text] {
    	width:155px;
    }

    Another approach to the country drop down might be to remove those countries which have a lot of characters in the name.

    32 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
    24 Northern Mariana Islands
    24 Central African Republic
    23 Virgin Islands, British
    22 Bosnia and Herzegovina
    21 Serbia and Montenegro
    21 Sao Tome and Principe
    21 Saint Kitts and Nevis
    20 Virgin Islands, U.S.
    20 United Arab Emirates
    19 Trinidad and Tobago
    19 Antigua and Barbuda
    18 Dominican Republic
    17 Equatorial Guinea
    16 Papua New Guinea
    16 Marshall Islands
    15 Solomon Islands

    I'm not sure what the geographical reach of your form is, but maybe it's an option to remove a couple of those longer countries.

    You could also reduce the font size if you wanted to:

    #r_sidebar .gform_wrapper select {
    	max-width:155px!important;
    	font-size:10px;
    }

    Kevin, that code worked perfectly.

    And thanks for the extra info Chris, that'd good to know I can limit some of those countries.
