Field Placement

  1. Hello,

    I attempted to located something similar to the question I have with no luck thus the new post.

    Is there no way to place more than one field per line? If the page the form is being placed on has enough room to allow for this why can I not drag a second field to the same line. For instance email address and phone number.

    This would allow for a much more efficient use of page space no?

    Again I am not a developer so there might be a logical reason that I have no clue about.

    Thank you,
    Derek

  2. Kevin posted something about that earlier:

    Basically you use CSS to arrange where you want the fields displayed in your form. I don't believe it's possible with drag and drop in the back end.

  3. It's not currently possible using the form builder. It can only be done via CSS manipulation.

  5. If you would like to post a link to your form and indicate what fields you're trying to reposition, we would be happy to point you in the right direction.

    Hi
    I'm also having a few problems trying to position fields on the same line. Are you able to point me in the right direction?

    The form is on this page - http://whatsyourpromise.org.uk/promises

    I'd like name and email on one line, and town and postcode on another

    Thanks very much

  7. @benclowney - try appending the CSS below to your style.css file

    #field_1_5, #field_1_8 {float:left}
    #field_1_5, #field_1_6, #field_1_7, #field_1_8  {width:48%;}
    #input_1_5, #input_1_6, #input_1_7, #input_1_8 {width:85%}

    It worked well in my test. screenshot
