Output styling

  1. Hello again.

    I am wondering if there is an out-of-the-box way of having the email that you receive from a form show up in a 2 column format rather than the default 1 column layout.

    I am asking b/c I have a form that has a lot of fields that require short answers. Our client uses this form to fill out and then print to take to their clients. They are trying to get it to where it could print on a single piece of paper, rather than two pages. There is more than enough room to have it presented in two columns.

    I am wondering if there is a simple solution to this. If not, I am willing to get my hands dirty if anybody can help.

    Thank you very much in advance.

  2. Gary,

    You'll have to end up creating this yourself in the notification settings using the merge tag drop down and your own HTML to organize and display the content how you see fit.

  3. I figured I might have to ... do I just use inline styling and it works in the email output?

    Like

    [html]
    <div style="float: left; width: 48%;">
    merge tags for all that left side</div>
    <div style="float: right; width: 48%;">
    merge tags for all that right side</div>

    ?

  4. Inline styles should work for you - of course you will want to test in a variety of email clients - such is the life and annoyances of HTML email.
