IE messes up the looks

Ok, addition to the previous question, it only happens when I switch on ‘borders’ for a form. If ‘borders’ are switched off, it looks pretty much ok, except for the fact that IE forgets a bit of space at the end of the form and the text starts besides the ‘submit’ button.

In general I have found that formatting problems are typically just CSS conflicts with the theme. Also, although I hate to blame problems on somebody else, IE is notorious for bad rendering.

The asterisks are always within the “label” tags, so you would have to prevent text wrapping in general to keep them on the same line. I’m not sure how to do this, I’m no CSS expert.

The radio buttons only put two “& nbsp ;” between the input and the text. They should not be scaling to half width. If they are, then that has to do with your theme.

I like the idea of the ‘other’ option, and the dependency idea. The first will be easy to add – the second will be a bit more work, but it is in the works.

I would like to add – I tested some forms in IE 8 with the borders on, and they looked fine. This was with the ‘twentyten’ theme that comes with WP. Unfortunately I’m not much of a designer, so my CSS expertise is very limited. Also I really appreciate the feedback. I would say 9 out of 10 new features are because somebody suggested it, and they are usually good ideas, yours included. Thanks!

I just posted 1.5.0, which adds ‘conditions’. I’ll be updating the FAQ to explain it, but it fairly self explanatory. Go to the form editor and find the ‘conditions’ tab, from there you can set the visibility of fields based on the values of other fields, and also set whether or not certain fields are required.

Awesome, I will go and take a look at it.

I think both the problems (text and radio buttons as well as the borders) are all due to CSS conflicts. I am not sure how to solve them as I am not a CSS programmer either.

Thanks for responding and including my suggestions. Much appreciated.

Just looked at the plugin and the “add” button in the Conditions tab does nothing for me in Chrome (latest on latest Mac OS X). It does show in FireFox.

I have been playing around with it, but It does not seem to be processing all the conditions in the way I would expect. But that might make the whole thing a lot trickier. I would like to hide fields and only show them when a certain choice is made. Now it shows all the fields I created as options.

I never tested it in Chrome, but I do know what causes what you described. I’ll figure that out. Also, the way it is *supposed* to work is the conditions are processed in order. What are you trying to do?

I would like to do an order form where people are asked certain questions based on their choice. So, if you choose product A you get question 1 and 4. If you choose product B you get question 2, 3 and 4 etc. I guess the most awesome way would be if the question fields would ‘automagically appear’.

By the way, another suggestion; it would be great if I would be able to generate a CSV for all of the data instead of just the first page. I now have a form with 80 registrations and I only get the first 30.

Thanks!

The CSV download is supposed to be everything. I fixed the bug for 1.5.6.

To do what you are talking about for your form’s fields you would choose the “Only show elements if…” rule. Below that, you would pick the list that has the products, then to the right choose ‘equals’, and then say ‘Product A’. Then where it says ‘Applies to’, add the items you want to be shown only if the list equals ‘Product A’. Then make a rule for if the list equals ‘Product B’, and so on.

I apologize I haven’t posted an FAQ about this yet.

1.5.6 has as crippling bug, 1.5.7 will fix everything if you ran into the problem.

Updated last night. For some reason I missed the update. Now the CSV export works. Will look into the conditional questions later today.

Thanks.
