I made a form with formbuilder. In all browsers i tried the form looks good, except in IE7.

It does not show my checkbox group correctly:

The css code is the default code of formbuilder. The code rendered in the browser is this:

Code: Select all

<div class="required boxes">
<div>
<input type="checkbox" class="cms_checkbox" name="cntnt01fbrp__83[]" value="1"  id="fbrp__83_1_0" />
&nbsp;
<label for="fbrp__83_1_0">14 januari</label>
</div>
<div>
<input type="checkbox" class="cms_checkbox" name="cntnt01fbrp__83[]" value="2"  id="fbrp__83_1_1" />
&nbsp;
<label for="fbrp__83_1_1">11 februari</label>
</div>
<div>
<input type="checkbox" class="cms_checkbox" name="cntnt01fbrp__83[]" value="3"  id="fbrp__83_1_2" />
&nbsp;
<label for="fbrp__83_1_2">10 maart</label>
</div>
<div>
<input type="checkbox" class="cms_checkbox" name="cntnt01fbrp__83[]" value="4"  id="fbrp__83_1_3" />
&nbsp;
<label for="fbrp__83_1_3">14 april</label></div><div><input type="checkbox" class="cms_checkbox" name="cntnt01fbrp__83[]" value="5"  id="fbrp__83_1_4" />
&nbsp;
<label for="fbrp__83_1_4">12 mei</label>
</div>
</div>

I have spent a good hour now trying to figure out why this is happening. Anyone that has a clue??

This is a CSS thing, link to the site will help us help you...

On the div class that contains the checkbox and labels, add

position: relative

and see if that helps it. IE 7 has caused me so much grief, that usually that's the first thing I do. Also, provide a link, like the other person said.

I traced the problem back to the way the form is build up.

First the checkbox is placed, then the label. IE7 seems to have a problem with this. Is there anyway to fix this in the CMS Made Simple file that is responsible for this?

This causes the misalignment:

Code: Select all

<div>
<input type="checkbox" class="cms_checkbox" name="cntnt01fbrp__83[]" value="1"  id="fbrp__83_1_0" />
&nbsp;
<label for="fbrp__83_1_0">14 januari</label></div>

Changing it to this fixes it:

Code: Select all

<div>
<label for="fbrp__83_1_0">14 januari</label>&nbsp;
<input type="checkbox" class="cms_checkbox" name="cntnt01fbrp__83[]" value="1"  id="fbrp__83_1_0" />
</div>

Though I can't find it in the W3C specs it seems more natural to place the label in front of the form element instead of behind it..

You should be able to change by editing the Template in FormBuilder.
