I am curious if a feature is available in the widget I am using

Hi again, I am curious if a feature is available in the widget I am using.

For the form http://www.jotform.com//?formID=52788193225867# one form field asks the respondent to identify a medication and in the next field, describe its use etc. I have made the field as wide as possible. 

I would like the field to add a line to its size when the explanation given by the respondent goes longer than the field width allows - perhaps expanding for extra lines. 

Also, can I limit the number of total characters in a field in this widget?

Thanks again

Hi,

The sizing for the input area of that widget is fixed.  It can be made larger but it cannot be set to resize dynamically.  It is also not capable of limiting to a certain number of characters.  We do have widgets that will allow you to count characters:

https://widgets.jotform.com/app/character_counter

That same widgets can be resized to allow more space.  However, it will not allow you to add extra entries if necessary. 

If you would like help making the field in your current widget larger, we will be happy to assist you.  It would require the inputs to be that large at all times.

I understand and appreciate the parameters of the widget.

I would appreciate your help to continue using this same widget whilst increasing its 'fixed' size to:

allow 3 lines of text (or ~200 characters) in the field 'for the treatment of . . ?' which is currently 400px wide

The current fields are:

Name of medication{200},  for the treatment of . . ? {400}

I hope my request makes sense - thank you in anticipation of your efforts.

I would recommend using a configurable list widget, rather than an infinite list for that:

This will allow you to use "text area" fields, rather than text boxes.  The infinite list widget appears to only allow to change the widget.

In the custom CSS tab of the widget, you can use this code to adjust the height and width of the text areas:

textarea {

height: 50px !important;

width: 400px !important;

}

You would need to redo your conditions for the new widget but it would produce the desired affect.  Here is my test form with a widget setup at the beginning:

Thank you. I played and had success. I injected some CSS with limited success.

I can modify the text box format using the css shown below but trying to fix the text area field did not work so well. I tried it using text and text box naming . . . . . . .  arghhhhh . . . . help

My attempt is at the bottom of my form @

http://www.jotform.com//?formID=52788193225867 

text {

height: 50px !important;

width: 200px !important;

}

 text box {

height: 50px !important;

width: 100px !important;

}

Kindly use the following CSS to make changes to the input fields of your widget

textarea {
    width: 600px !important;
    height: 120px !important;
}

input[type=text] {
width:100!important;
height:50px !important;
}

This will be the result

Thanks.

your solution allows me to adjust the height of both areas and only the width of the text area.

I tried multiple combinations of the css but couldn't adjust the width of the text box. Help!

found it

if you add px  (see below) to the measurement it works - should have seen it.

textarea {
    width: 600px !important;
    height: 120px !important;
}

input[type=text] {
width:100px!important;
height:50px !important;
}

Apologies for not catching that missing px part for the width declaration, thank you for pointing this out.

If you will need further assistance kindly let us know.
