Machform 3 - Getting Fields to be side by side


  1. Lil

    Hello, I am very familiar on how to get fields to be side by side with Machform 2 but for some reason, I can not figure out how to do it in Machform 3

    Please Help, I don't know much about css but the instructions for 2 were so simple, I tried looking around in the forum if someone asked for v3 but the replies seemed confusing to me

    Thank You, I really appreciate it

    Lil,
    Have you tried the instructions at http://www.appnitro.com/doc-field-alignment ? They seem pretty well done to me.

    Hello, Here Again

    I tried doing what the above Article States, It works great but there are some filelds that are not working with this codes

    dates, phone numbers, and drop downs

    they can not be aligned otherwise they look messed up or they mess up the next line over, and that's with only two colums

    for example a phone, then a drop down

    or

    regualar text field, and phone would mess up the next line over

    is there any way to get around this? Thank You

    It is not clear exactly what problem you are seeing from your description, but I am going to guess that you may be having the same problem I did. Please see my previous message for a description of the problem and a solution:

    Yes, that's exactly what was happening to me, it works great... but then there come's another issue... lining up 4 into a column.. it doesn't fit so I will need to make the form wider

    I have searched the forum on how to do that, I came across this:

    ---------

    You can edit the theme of your form, click the "advanced" menu from the dropdown on the top right corner of theme editor and put this code:

    #form_container{
    width: 800px;
    }

    ---------

    My problem is, that I am not seeing the advanced button on the top right corner, it just has the built in themes, and new themes option

    - am I doing something wrong? If this option is just in plain view, I am not seeing it in both in explorer and chrome

    Thank You

    @Lil: See my post in this thread:

    http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/adding-and-using-own-css-code?replies=3

    In the message I refer to above, I explain in detail how to find the "Advnaced CSS" menu item. The documentation in this case doesn't quite match the way Machform actually works.
