looking for advice to make this form look better!

  1. I've been using a form on my site but I don't like the way it looks, and I can't figure out how to improve it. I would appreciate any suggestions. Link below, tia.
    Two specific problems: (1) the fields are too close together, so you can't tell if the description is referring to the field above or below it, and (2) the column on the left side is too narrow, so the questions wrap too much.

  2. Shea, what if you get rid of the float: left; and the width: 100px; values (see below) in your theme's style.css, looks to be on line 518:

    [css]
    .gform_wrapper .top_label .gfield_label {
    display: block;
    float: left;
    padding-right: 20px;
    width: 100px;
    margin: 5px 0px 4px !important;
    }

  4. I tried what you suggested, but it didn't work. (I'm not very good with CSS, though, maybe I did something wrong.)
    However, to increase the spacing between form questions, I added html line breaks after each description and I think it looks much better now. I still don't like the width of the left column... thanks, though.
