field label position

  1. hello. I am wondering if you can use both "top align" and "side align" field label positions in the same document?

    I am creating a very detailed online franchise application, and including a personal financial statement section. up to this point in the document, all labels are "top aligned". but for this part, I would like to position the form fields to the left of the field... creating a "spreadsheet-like" effect... is this possible without needing to change the coding?

    thanks!

  2. You might want to drop this into your theme's stylesheet to clear the footer button (noticed when I loaded the page up, the next button was sitting in the middle of fields):

    [css]
    .gform_page_footer {
    clear: both;
    }

    You probably can target just those fields and arrange them via CSS. Is this the last step in the form? Go ahead and add a handful of fields that should be there and we can see about targeting them to get the labels to the left of the fields on that page in question.

  3. Thanks Rob. to answer your question, NO - the form is not yet completed. I will add the CSS you suggested... in the meantime, I also noticed that the several "section break" fields I have added also seem to be floating.... as you can see, I have used a bit of CSS ready classes to orient the fields to minimize the amount of space taken, so I am wondering if using multiple instances of the gf_inline along with gf_left_half can cause that visual issue?

    thanks again for your feedback.

  4. Can you take screenshots of the section breaks that are floating. From what I can see everything "looks" ok. But perhaps it's not? Can you confirm or show a specific item in question?
