How can I change the width of the text area into percentile？

If you put 25% in the width, Form manager will add the attribute

style="width:25%px;"

You can also play with a width entry such as

25%; max-width: 300

The width, however, is of the enclosing table cell, so the results will probably not be what you are looking for…. You can always embed Javascript…

Thanks Samatva! Your reply has been helpful.

I have some follow up questions that I hope can also help me with (btw, you’ll find the form on our site: https://www.mychinaroots.com/contact_us)

1. I can’t change the label width into percentages. if I do, the textboxes will all move to the left, ending up right next to the label. Because the width of the labels are all different, the textboxes are not aligned anymore, which makes it all look very messy. how do i put the label width into percentages while keeping the textboxes aligned?

2. I can only put the width of the textboxes at 115% at the most. if i put them at 116% and over, the widths turn absolute again, and exceed beyond the page. unfortunately, 115% for the textboxes is too narrow. How can I make the textboxs bigger than 115%, without them exceeding beyond the page?

3. for some reason the two different types of textboxes (one is called “text” and the other one “text areas”) do not use the same “percentage measurements”. for instance, right now both the “text” and the “text areas” are set at 115%, but their widths are still completely different. a related problem, is that their relative widths are different when using different browsers: with IE and google chrome, the width of the “text areas” are narrower than the width of the “text”. with firefox and safari on the other hand, the “text areas” are wider than the “texts”.

We hope you can help us with these issues, as we really like your form design and would very much like to use it for our site!

As mentioned in my original post, the width a percentage of the enclosing table cell, so the results will probably not be what you are looking for…

You can set the label position to “top” to re-gain some control, and you can embed HTML/styles/scripts into a “note” field, but I cannot do the research and/or design work for you. I was just pointing out how I have worked through some of the issues I encountered with this plugin. I personally don’t get worried about appearance, as long as the form is functional. Your form looks great to me…
