Hi ninos,

Your template is setting the td style to 'vertical-align:middle'

thanks for the really fast answerd, and sorry for the stupid question
since im a real novice with html and stuff i don't get why the first half of the form have a fine align and the second half is a mess

Hi ninos,

Actually - it's all a mess. It's just that in the first half there are no tooltips so all the boxes look better aligned and the checkbox array is inside a multi-holder which is keeping it straight.

i really fell like a total idiot asking this but......well i guess i am

i don't get how can i fix the align and how it's possible to change colour and font of the text (i need to use orange and verdana like the rest of the website)

Hi ninos,

Sorry, but the answer is that you need a crash course in CSS. W3Schools has all you need. And then use a tool like FireBug in FireFox or the Chrome Developr Tools to see what is actually styling your form.

im really sorry for posting again for this... i managed to change the colour of the part of txt i needed but it seems that i'm too idiot to change also the font....
i changed the font to verdana on the default theme and also put

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body
{

}
h3
{
color:#FF8C00;
text-align:center;
}
h3
{
font-family:"Verdana", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:25px;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>

in the css windows of the form css code but the form seems to hate me

im doing it all wrong or it's just that chtulu is watching me?

Hi ninos,

Cthulu is always watching . . .

The H£ font is being set in template.css (line 76) by

.contentheading, .componentheading, .blog_more strong, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
font-family:Cambria,"Times New Roman",Times,serif;
letter-spacing:1px;
}

I suggest that you use FireBug in FireFox or the Chrome console to check style settings.
