Column Alignment

    Edited a form that was customized with columns using the field alignment as given to me ( "column_3", etc ). As I have added to the form today, it has gone completely wacky. The columns only work sometimes- I have double and triple checked that they were given the correct column number in css. The form also looks completely different on my iPad as it does my computer browser. One part of the form will be perfectly aligned on the iPad, while in my browser it's all messed up. And vice versa. A part of the form that looks perfectly aligned on my computer browser is all un-aligned on my iPad. Any help would be appreciated. I have emailed support, but desperately need to use this form tomorrow. It's an order form so alignment is super important.

    @tiffanyfarley: I'm pretty sure I have the fix for the issue you are seeing. To force a particular field to start a new row and be at the left edge of the form, add "new_row" after the column_n class name (where n is a number from 2 to 5). For example if you want to have three columns, add the class names "column_3 new_row" to the item you want to be the first item on each row. Do not add the class name "new_row" to any field but the one that should be the first item in the row! This will force it to start a new row. Apparently Machform can become "confused" during the display of complex multi-column forms and this eliminates the confusion. I am linking to a thread that describes this issue in more detail:
