How to decrease the vertical space between two text boxes

aliakbari 30 Jun, 2011
Hi there,

I setup chronoform and created a form and embeded it in an article. The spacing between two text boxes are too large. I have chosen Tight Layout from the settings and also played with frontforms_tight.css to decrease the spacing. But I just cant find a way to decrease the vertical spacing between a text box and another text box under it.

I also searched the forum and there was only one related post that was not helpful (i did what exactly was said. Everything changes except the vertical space!).

Here is a link to my website: http://tinyurl.com/3oef3fn

And this is the CSS code: (I appreciate your help)

Hi aliakbari,

The problem is this line in joomla.css (around line 117)
div.item-page .clear {padding: 20px !important}

Changing this may affect other parts of the template though. Try adding this to the Form CSS:
form#chronoform_Banks-Contact-Form div.clear {
  padding:0px !important;
}

Mr. Grey Head. Thank you very much. I couldve never figured it out without you. I would like to buy you a beer. by all means. Cheers. 😀

Btw, are you also responsible for purchase questions? I'd like to purchase subscription but I really, really dont need any domains (let alone 3 of them!). I wonder if I can get it without all those domains for a better price. Thanks.

Hi aliakbari,

No Max is responsible for subscriptions and he will reply to your Contact Email soon I expect.

You do not 'get' any domains with the subscription; the subscription allows you to use ChronoForms on three different domains.

Ok I got it. Thanks.

Hi again,

What if I want to move the SUBMIT button, or change the font color on the button. Which line should I change?

Thank you for your help,
