Form Overlapping Text

    I have a short form on my homepage that works fine on a PC, but when you pull up the page on an iPhone, the form fields overlap the content below. I have tried adding the form using every method, but nothing works. Here's the link: http://midsouthcolor.com/joomla2/. I just upgraded to v. 3.5 thinking that would help, but it didn't. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Maybe it's not Machform but something within your site design that causes this specifically on mobile devices. Without being a web design expert I would say your site is primarily designed for desktop/laptop and therefore is trying to resize itself to a mobile phone size screen. Is the template or site's design "responsive" (I think that's the term) design? i.e. my understanding is that responsive design means that, on a basic level, it reformats itself to view reasonably well on any device.

    I don't possess a smart-phone so can't really check the site, but I think I have approximately replicated what you describe simply by resizing the browser down to what would be roughly the size of an iPhone screen:

    When you say text or form overlapping each other, is the above image something like what you are describing, because, to a certain point, the site re-orders itself according to me shrinking the browser window, but starts 'breaking' when it gets to around the above size.

    I think your page's responsive code is causing the overlap.
    Try to put this into your "template.responsive.css" file:

    .responsive .art-responsive-embed {
      padding-bottom: 100%;
    }
