Widen the user guide tip/information box

    The text in one of the 'user-guide' tips on one of my forms breaks outside the border of the box that appears when you mouse-over the field.

    How do I widen the box to fit the text?

    The form is here: http://www.applecross.perth.anglican.org/web.html

    The tool tip in question is the "Website" field.

    I had a look at the CSS and found what I think is the correct section but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

    In the Form's CSS I found this section,tried making change to the width but didn't seem to work.

    /**** Guidelines and Error Highlight ****/
    #main_body form li.highlighted
    {
    background-color:#fff7c0;
    }

    #main_body form .guidelines
    {
    background:#f5f5f5;
    border:1px solid #e6e6e6;
    color:#444;
    font-size:80%;
    left:100%;
    line-height:130%;
    margin:0 0 0 8px !important;
    padding:8px 10px 9px;
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    visibility:hidden;
    width:42%; /*tried adjusting this line*/
    z-index:1000;
    }

    Thanks for the assistance.

    Sorry for the weekend delay!

    Actually, you got the correct line already.
    However, you might need to adjust the width of the field too.

    Try to adjust this:

    .appnitro li
    {
    	width:61%;
    }

    change it to 45%.

    And then set the guidelines width to 95% or so.
