Eliminate large area of white space

    I have a "table" that I have built with custom CSS to allow for two boxes next to each question.  I built it as suggested in another thread.  But the way I have built it has now created a huge amount of white space below my "table" that I can't seem to get rid of.

    How do I move everything up so that the white space is eliminated?  Here is how it looks when completing the form:

    Eliminating the space would require again another set of CSS codes and it would make it a little messy. Your workaround is actually great but honestly, I would not recommend using negative margins and heights to align fields side by side. They are not necessary since you can align them properly by shrinking the fields. Furthermore, making these fields responsive would be more complex due to incorrect CSS codes used.

    Here's my cloned form with corrected CSS codes, feel free to clone this form if you want.

    So that I can duplicate this procedure in the future for other forms, can you tell me specifically what CSS code is causing the fields to line up properly?  I would like to inject it into my current form rather than simply cloning your form so that I will understand how to do it myself in the future with other forms.

    I looked at your CSS code, but since you have grouped things together, it is difficult for me to determine exactly which code is resulting in what output.

    Thanks,

    Never mind!  I played with it until I figured out what you were specifically doing, and now I have it!
