Form width and scrolling issue

  1. The form i have on a site is getting cut off on the right side. Then if you tab across fields [ in IE] or you type in a really long last name, the whole form shifts a few pixels over to the right.

    There seems to be padding interfering with the form, but I can't seem to figure out where it's coming from.

  2. Part of your issue is the padding applied to the inputs by your theme stylesheet - default.css line 1822

    [css]
    #contentbox form input {
        padding: 5px;
    }

    then, there is a width set on the form element itself - default.css line 1816

    [css]
    #contentbox form {
        padding: 0 0 20px;
        position: relative;
        width: 580px;
    }

    You should be able to override those by putting this at the end of your theme stylesheet.

    [css]
    body #contentbox .gform_wrapper form {
    	width:auto
    }
    
    body #contentbox .gform_wrapper form input[type=text],
    body #contentbox .gform_wrapper form input[type=tel],
    body #contentbox .gform_wrapper form input[type=url],
    body #contentbox .gform_wrapper form input[type=email],
    body #contentbox .gform_wrapper form input[type=file],
    body #contentbox .gform_wrapper form input[type=password],
    body #contentbox .gform_wrapper form input[type=number] {
    	padding:5px 0;
    }

    notice I chose to target the inputs by type rather than apply a blanket rule that would unnecessarily add padding to radio buttons & checkboxes which are inputs too.

  5. @Rubiwane, I responded to your other topic already and will close this one, as it is over a year old and unrelated.
