manipulating fields

CodeRogue 01 Jun, 2011
Hello,

I searched the forum prior to posting, so I hope this is not a duplicate question/request.

I am trying to align the fields within a form that was generated using the form wizard
so that the form shows the fields in a format similar to the example below.

First Name : ___________ Last Name : _______________ DATE
Home Phone : ___________ Cell Phone : _______________
Email Address : ______________________________

TEXT AREA

_ Choice 1 _ Choice 2 etc....

TEXT AREA

reCAPTCHA verification

SUBMIT

Can someone tell me a way to set this up please?
Thank You!

Hi CodeRogue,

There is a multi-holder element in CFv3 that can help with this but no equivalent for CFv4.

The best way is probably to get into editing the Form HTML and use a table to structure the layout.

I saw the mulit-holder reference in http://greyhead.net/chronoforms/putting-several-inputs-in-one-line.
Unfortunately I am running V4 (no particular reason, it was just the latest version available).

This is a fresh install, so I have no time invested in v4 (yet). Would it be best to un-install and go
with v3? If so, which version of v3 should I use?

If it is better to stay with v4 and manually edit the html, I can do that as well, just need to know
where I would find the html code for the form.

Thanks a bunch for the quick reply...
Cheers

Hi CodeRogue,

I's stay with CFv4, there's a bit of a learning curve but it is a 'better' extension than CFv3.

In the Forms Manager, click the Form Name link, he tne Code tab to get to the Form Code. After you do this switch the Form Type drop-down from Wizard to Custom to protect your edited code.
