Tor Olav Steinsvoll	Saturday 26 July 2003 3:20:12 am I hope that there is someone that can help me a bit here. I have trouble with setting the size of the form. I tried to put the form inside a table and set the width of the table but that didn't work. I also tried to set style in a stylesheet, but that didn't work either. Here is the code I am using: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> {default content_object=$node.object content_version=$node.contentobject_version_object node_name=$node.name} <form method="post" action={"content/action"\|ezurl}> <b>Subject</b> <div class="skjema">{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.subject}</div> <b>Feedback</b> <div class="skjema">{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.feedback}</div> {section name=ContentAction loop=$content_object.content_action_list show=$content_object.content_action_list} <div class="block"> <input type="submit" name="{$ContentAction:item.action}" value="{$ContentAction:item.name}" /> </div> {/section} <input type="hidden" name="ContentNodeID" value="{$node.node_id}" /> <input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectID" value="{$content_object.id}" /> <input type="hidden" name="ViewMode" value="full" /> </form> {/default} </body> </html> Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here?

Robin Sørlie	Saturday 26 July 2003 3:35:00 am What do you mean by form width? I assume you mean the box where visitors can write their stuff. You can try this: <b>Subject</b> <div class="skjema" style="width: 200; height: 20">{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.subject}</div> <b>Feedback</b> <div class="skjema" style="width: 200; height: 20">{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.feedback}</div> Just alter the width to what you need. Pretty sure you can spesify this in .css to. -Robin
Tor Olav Steinsvoll	Saturday 26 July 2003 8:58:33 am Thanks for your help Robin, but I got the same result as before. The texfield is way to wide. I think it has to be some override I don't understand here. What you told me I tried to do in the CSS file too. Any other suggestions? Regards from Tor Olav
Bjørn Kaarstein	Monday 28 July 2003 12:10:16 am Try to copy the core.css from standard to your own stylesheets folder. Then I think you need to alter some of the items under /* FORMS */. Like i.e. input.box, textarea.box { width: 200px; } Regards Bjørn
Robin Sørlie	Monday 28 July 2003 6:18:37 am Yes, that might work, try to alter this in core.css: /* FORMS */ form { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } input.box, textarea.box { width: 468px; } input.halfbox, textarea.halfbox { width: 230px; } Didn't think of that cause you didn't have any reference to this class in your html code, but since you use the attribute function I guess this automaticly points to core.css
