Hi Caroleen2000,

This is probably from the CSS in your site template. Please use your browser web developer tools to check exactly what CSS is being applied.

Bob

thanks for react GreyHead,
I can see that template.css is used but can not find where the table setting are done.
can you help me out?

Hi caroleen2000,

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

Here by the link you asked for.

Hi caroleen2000,

This is the CSS that is setting the width to 100%; from line 1473 of your template CSS.

input[type="text"], input[type="password"], input[type="email"], input[type="url"], textarea {
    color: #172126 !important;
    font-family: 'Droid Serif',Arial,'Arial Unicode MS',Helvetica,Sans-Serif;
    font-size: 13px;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    padding: 4px 0;
    width: 100%;
}

I suggest that you over-write this using the ChronoForms Load CSS action.

Bob

Thanks for you answer Bob,

I have tried to add a css file on load, but it not seems to overide the template.css.

So for the moment i have changed it in the template.css and that works for now.
I am away for a while and when I'am back I look further to it.

Hello CAroleen and Bob,
I'm have the same problem. I saw youre website and i'm put "Custom Code" into the "On Load".
I even uploaded the ChronoForms v4 action load_css_file_gh.zip and installed it with "Action".

But i don't have a cloe how to solve the problem. The fields are larger then the module on the right side...

Hi Robin,

I suggest that you check out a CSS tutorial - W3Schools have some that are OK.

If you add this to a Load CSS action it makes the form look OK but you may need to refine it further if you have more than one form on the page:

.cfdiv_text {
  width: 170px;
}

Hi Bob and Caroleen,

I did some research on W3 Schools. i checked out the www and founs nothing. Then i was thinking "What im i doing wrong.......?
Bob posted a picture as i want it to be...
So i checked chronoform wizard and the events.... i had custom code. I deleted this and took "Style form" changed "Form Width" from auto to 170px and voila it worked for me.
Later on i had to change the Label font from arial to verdana, because that is what i prefer...

Thanx for youre replay and tell what the best way is to buy you some beer? Heineken, Amstel, Palm or Bavaria??😉
