Re: Custome Forms

Actually, I just figured out a way to remove the line break after the label from css.

If you edit the styleformwizard.css file and add this at the bottom:

.formwizard .settingrow .settinglabel {width:200px;  }
.formwizard fieldset .settingrow br.clear{display: none;}

Then refresh the page. Might need to clear the browser cache as well.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Custome Forms

Cheers - thats a good start.   Will at least keep the form size down.

Re: Custome Forms

The Css worked but not on every type of form field.  Sometimes you would want the form field to be put to the right of the label, other times below the label (such as a large text box).

I noticed on the radio buttons or checkbox options, there is no spacing between the button and the label - simple CSS fix I imagine.

Re: Custome Forms

Hi Chris,

There is a simple css solution for the checkbox and radio button label spacing:

.formwizard input[type="checkbox"], .formwizard input[type="radio"] { margin: 0px 7px 0px 0px; }

will put a 7 pixel space between them.

I will look into adding an additional css class based on the question type to the div that has class="settingrow"

This will make it easier to let the label be on top of paragraph questions while letting you have the other questsion label to the left.

Hopefully I can get to this and package an update to Form Wizard in the next few weeks.

Best,

Joe

Re: Custom Forms

Just noticed that on a long form, if you have some fields which are required and you forget to enter information, when you click on submit (without entering the 4 letter code), the captcha disappears and you are still down at the bottom of the form - it should at least take you up to the question (or first required question) that hasn't been completed

If you do enter the Captcha code, the same as above still occurs - this is using Firefox.

Re: Custome Forms

I will look into the issue about the captcha dissappearing and make a new rleease of Form Wizard later this week. Im not sure about implementing it to scroll the page to invalid entries, I think it would be fairly difficult to implement that. It should show a summary of validation problems at the bottom near the button, that will be easier to do.

Really I think very long forms are problematic. At some point I will implement additional features in FormWizard so we can have multi page forms and surveys. Then we can break a long form up into pages.

Best,

Joe

Re: Custome Forms

Breaking up a long form is perfect.  Earlier I requested sections where you could enter headings (you said much like a survey) - this helps break down long forms.  Many websites use a step system to break up forms - far more user friendly - with a breadcrumb trail highlighting which step in the form completion they are in.  They can also go back - so if they are on Step 2 out of 4 they can go back to Step 1 but not to step 3 until step 2 has been completed.  If they are on Step 2 and go back to Step 1, when they go back to Step 2 it should remember what they have already entered.
