I searched back and forth and it seems I am the only one who has this problem...

I am using a datepicker field and would like to change the width of the field. I used the Wizard and set the size to 11 and save it and the field still comes out with the field size of 20 ... (see attached picture ...) [attachment=0]fieldsize.png[/attachment]

I used now the simplest code there can be:

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_datetimepicker">
    <label class="cf_label" style="display: none;">Click Me to Edit</label>
    <input class="cf_datetime" title="" size="10" id="date_0" name="date_0" type="text" />
    
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

And even here the size switches back to 20 once the form is loaded...

Am I really that stupid or is there something I forgot??

Thanks

Hi iaweb2,

The CSS over-rides the value of the size attribute. Try something like

<input style='width:150px;' class="cf_datetime" title="" size="10" id="date_0" name="date_0" type="text" />

Hey Bob:

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately that changes nothing either ... Still looks exactly the same and does not change the filed size...

Thanks

Hi Heiko,

Please post a link to the form so we can take a quick look.

Hello Bob:

Thanks for the help, here are the links, as I have that issue in a more elaborate form as well as the most simple form I could make ...

Simple Form:

Elaborate Form:

Thanks

Hi Heiko,

Looks as though it's working OK, maybe you need to set 150px to something different.

Here it is at 10px which is a bit small.

Bob

Hello Bob:

Yeah, I am a moron, I admit it, I used your 150px without thinking or changing it to a smaller number which actually would be different than the 20 letters size...

Thanks for the help...

Hi orionis,

Please see the second post in this thread. Does that answer your question?

Bob

Thanks for your fast answer!
I've try this :

<input name="start-date" id="start-date" class="date-pick" width="50px" />

But it didn't work, of course...😶
I've just try the solution you propose (width the tag "size" instead), and it's ok! 😀
But I still don't know how and where the original input width field is set?!?

Hi orionis ,

I actully propopsed adding the style='width:150px;' which is possibly better HTML.

The original width is set in the element setup in ChronoForms I think.
