Textarea size

  1. I can't get the textarea to resize. I currently have it set to small, but it is too big. I really want the labels on top (instead of on the left), but when I had that, the textarea fields took up the whole width. How can I set the width?

  2. If you want the labels on the top, go ahead and set them to be on the top and we can help you out there to get the textarea styling to how you need it to be. However, to target the textarea widths you can always drop this into your theme's stylesheet. Each size has it's own class, below you can see .gform_wrapper textarea.medium, but there is also .gform_wrapper textarea.small and .gform_wrapper textarea.large depending on which you had selected.

    [css]
    .gform_wrapper textarea.medium {
    width: 250px !important;
    height: 150px !important;
    }

    Feel free to change the px values here to however you see fit and let me know if you need anymore guidance or help if you end up changing the label placement too.

  3. I changed the alignment & added what you have (with size adjustments) to my stylesheet for both medium & small & no change.

  4. Hey I'm not seeing: .gform_wrapper textarea.small in your style.css. Can you add it back in so I can see what's going on?
