Form not scrolling horizontally on mobile devices

    Asked on February 16, 2017 at 11:49 AM

    The part of the form that is not immediately visible on a mobile device is not loading. It always used to load the whole form and the user would scroll horizontally to access.

     

    please advise

    Also, it looks like there is something wrong with the widget when I go to edit the form.Form not scrolling horizontally on mobile devices Image 1 Screenshot 20

    I see you're having an issue with your embedded form and using it on mobile namely not be letting you scroll very well and a widget not working right.

    When I checked this on your form by itself on my end other than not being very mobile friendly I found I am able to see and use it normally.

    However, in your first screenshot I noticed you're looking at it through your website it seems and that could be related to the cause of the conflict especially if there's any script conflicts between the form and your site.

    To check on this problem more accurately for you can you please provide us with a link to the webpage your form is embedded on so we can investigate further?

    Something you could try though which might help is to make form mobile responsive but also re-embed it with the iframe code and that might possibly help to resolve it.

    Hi there, thanks for the response. I have re-embedded the form and made it mobile responsive, but still no success. The form is located on an employees only section of our website so you would need to sign up for it with an email and password. Go here: http://www.gandselectric.com/time-sheet

    Please let me know on here what email you use to sign up so that I can approve your access. 

    Thanks for your help.

    Config list isn't mobile responsive that's why it creates a horizontal scrollbar in your form when viewed on small screens. You can overcome this by injecting CSS codes on these widgets so they appear perfectly on mobile without any scrollbars. You can use the following CSS codes.

    1. For the regular hours field, inject this CSS codes to it.

    2. For the overtime field, use this.

    You need to inject these CSS codes in the widget wizard under Custom CSS tab.

    Example:

    After that, inject this CSS code to your form to make the date and full name field mobile responsive.

    Here's a cloned version of your form with all these changes https://form.jotform.com/70575090285964. View this on mobile and you'll see the difference.

    If you need further assistance, let us know.

    Thank you. I have made the changes and they seem to work fine. This does completely change the look of the form. I understand it is more mobile friendly this way. However, I was hoping to keep the look the same as it is easier for our employees to input their information when they have multiple jobs. Anyway, this will work, thank you for the help.

    Great! Glad you like the changes.

    It is actually best to make them mobile responsive so fields are easy to fill. :)

    And also some built-in mobile browsers do not render the form well when they are not responsive so horizontal scrollbars won't appear.

    Hi there, 

    You mentioned that the configurable list widget is not mobile responsive. A lot of the forms on our website use the configurable list widget. As you say, you can overcome this by injecting CSS codes into the widget. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do this myself. It seems like a very custom, specific fix. 

    Anyway, I have two other forms that use the configurable list widget that are not working in mobile view - very similar to what was happening with the form above that you fixed. I am wondering if perhaps you can provide CSS codes that will make them work. However, I also wonder if the plan is to make the configurable list widget mobile responsive because that would fix all future problems. It is a very useful widget so I am surprised it is not as user friendly as it should be. 

    The forms that need fixing can be found here:

    http://www.gandselectric.com/clothing---workwear

    http://www.gandselectric.com/clothing-office

    You will need to log in to our website to access them. You do have an account under the support@jotmail.com address so you should still be able to access them.

    Let me know how you make out!

    Thanks
