Issues with ''Question Text'' scrunched to the side using top alignment

    Asked on May 9, 2017 at 11:13 AM

    In the Builder, the Question Text reads fine - it goes across the screen -- on longer entries it naturally word-wraps to the next line. :-)

    But on the last Preview, and in Chrome, and in IE views, the words in the Question Text field have all scrunched to the the left side as if in a small column. :-(  I just tested on FireFox via my iPad with the same results.

    Label Alignment is TOP -- I have it set to this as my default.

    Is this just a temporary glitch that sometimes happens, or did I do something wrong?

    Thank you for providing a screenshot.

    Are you referring to the space as shown in the screenshot?

    If yes, please try adding this custom CSS code to your form:

    .form-label.form-label-top {

        width : 500px !important;

    }

    Oops -- what CSS code would I use then for the sub-labels to stretch out to the 500px too?... it seems that my focus was on the Question Text I forgot about the sub labels.  And would I just paste under the first code?

    You're referring to the sub-label of the Upload button, right?

    If yes, please add this custom CSS code to your form again to increase the width of the Sub-label:

    .form-sub-label {

        width: 500px !important;

    }

    Thank you -- it worked out well for the sub labels...

    However, it did take the Date Picker and put each element (month, day, and year) and place it on a line of its own. ...

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    You must inject this custom CSS code to your form for correcting this issue. Here:

    #cid_16 span.form-sub-label-container {

        width : 46px !important;

    }

    I have cloned your form in order test on my side and injected this CSS code. Your form will be shown like:

    I pasted that and got:

    then my sub-label on my longest one shrunk up again:

    My exact CSS right now is:

    .form-label.form-label-top {

     

        width : 500px !important;

     

    }

    #cid_16 span.form-sub-label-container {

        width : 46px !important;

    }

    Hello again,

    I could see that you have deleted this CSS codes to your form, it has to be on your form:

    .form-sub-label {

        width: 500px !important;

    }

    Your current custom CSS codes must be like this:

    .form-label.form-label-top {

        width : 500px !important;

    }

     

    .form-sub-label {

        width : 500px !important;

    }

     

    #cid_16 span.form-sub-label-container {

        width : 46px !important;

    }

    Please inject this all CSS codes and check the result. If you have still a problem, please let us know.

    Thank you.

    ahhhh... gotchya... I thought I was replacing the other bit of coding.... Lemme try that...

    Argh.

    Sub-Labels -- look great!

    Date Picker -- not so much .. it's weird again...  Looks different in Builder verses Preview/Browser, see below...

    Maybe it would work better if you target the individual labels with CSS, that way everything should look properly aligned. 

    This is what I mean, you remove all previous CSS code and paste the below one:

    #label_12 {

        width: 500px;

    }

    #label_16 {

        width: 500px;

    }

    #label_13 {

        width: 500px;

    }

    #label_18 {

        width: 500px;

    }

    #label_14 {

        width: 500px;

    }

    #label_17 {

        width: 500px;

     

    }

    It will change the width of each label.

    You can check my clone of your form as well: https://form.jotformpro.com/71294960792972

    And it works the same in the builder:

    Could that work for you?

    Please let us know.

    Thank you!

    it fixed the date and 99% of the others. My problem-child remains the sub-label under the "Upload a picture" button -- I'd like for it to span the 500px like the others, but apparently it is super stubborn. So it wins, I don't have time to continue playing with it - the rest of the form seems great so I am happy with that :-) 

    I want to thank everyone on this thread for trying to help me -- we had success and I am grateful for your assistance :-)
