Captcha Text Settings

cra2 14 Nov, 2008
Again, I'm just using the form wizard and default settings. Don't really know how to customize anything yet.

When I dragged a captcha element into my form above the submit button, I edited the text to be clearer ("Please type the dark text into the field to the right blah blah blah.")

When I view the form online, that captcha text is all in a narrow, vertical column over on the left.

What's the easiest way to spread that out a bit?

thanks,
cra2

Hi cra2,

You most likely need to edit your form css to change this. Look at the page in Chrome or in FireFox with FireBug or The Web Developer toolbar to see exactly which css is affecting this text.

Here's the code right out of the Form Code tab...

<div  class="form_item"><div class="form_element cf_captcha"><label class="cf_label">To prevent SPAM, please type the dark letters you see to the right, exactly as they appear.  Then press the Submit button below.</label><span>{imageverification}</span></div>


It looks to me like the class 'form element cf captcha' might be involved in the format of the captcha label, but I'm not sure.
When I use web dev in FF, and I click on view style info, it seems to confirm that, and points to style1.css in chronocontacts.
The code there is, as I'm sure you're familiar;

.form_element (line 137)

{

font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

font-size: 14px;

float: left;

margin-left: 30px;

margin-top: 8px;

margin-bottom: 8px;

}


But if I alter anything here, it seems to alter the whole form page.
