Best Practice

mediad 08 Nov, 2012
Guys, just wanted to find out what the best practice in regards to field sizes in different browsers? I have added ?tmpl=component at the end of the form page, but I have noticed that the field sizes are slightly wider in some browsers (hence I see issues with input boxes moving down onto the next row, or text boxes appear wider in some browsers and smaller in others etc) but this is down to the way the browsers presents this page.

What I can do without using hacks to avoid these issues? sorry for troubling, just want to make sure I am writing things correctly.

Thanks once again for your support.

No problems!

Well, when you have a very strict layout to follow then you may find it easier/better to build your own form HTML/CSS and paste it in a custom form code/element, this will ensure that your form just looks as you want it.

But the default wizard generated code should also look the same on all browsers, unless its affected by other CSS code on the same page.
