You can use CSS for that  ...

Thanks for your reply - but am still stuck with this....

if my html source is:-



Name



Email Address

       
   
   



What would you put in the css?  I tried this - but doesnt work:-

.formbuilderform td {cols:50;}

Also I see you have said to someone having a similar problem as myself in a previous post to set
#(optional) style - to false - where do i do this?

Thanks.

Try...

.formbuilderform textarea {width:300px}  or whatever width you need... CSS doesn't understand 'col:50'...

doh! As per usual always so simple when u know the answer!  Thanks. 

Should anyone would help me how to do this, step by step please.

I saw at least three topics about this and about .formbuilderform textarea {width:300px} i tried but unsuccessfully.

Thx

I just put the following code in the CSS

textarea {
   width: 300px;
   height: 15em;
}

in both feedbackform and formbuilder does thist work as the textarea is called textarea in both.

Yes- that works! Thanks.

Where exactly in Feedbackform can I find this textarea bit?  I have gone over several files, after downloading with FTP, but I can ot find it.  I need some help please.

You have to look at html soure - there you will find several css id and classes. The format must be added to your stylesheet. With
all textareas get this format.

In the /modules/FeedbackForm folder I see;

- classes
- images
- includes
- lang
- output
- templates
feedbackform.module.php
index.html
method.install.php
method.unistall.php
method.upgrade.php

I won't write down the files in the folders

So, can you tell me which HTML file as there are mostly .php files.

The thread topic is around Formbuilder and not FeedbackForm (like your posting). FormBuilder is the follower of FeedbackForm.

PS: I meant the source of your home page.

You have to add this to your associated stylesheet (admin, Layout > Stylesheet), not to module sources.

About finding the right css class,

When creating or editting a form, FormBuilder gives you the option to set the css-class yourself. This class will be wrapped around your form elements. This what you can set individual styles for seperate forms. So check whats in there and then add the next piece of css to your stylesheet. You can also set other elements

OK, thank you both for your help. Currently I'm using FeedbackForm, I guess I'll give Forumbuilder a go.

Feed back Form is not supported any more, I'm surprised it even installed on 1.5.*, you are using the latest ver. of CMS Made Simple...
