    Hi,

    Is it possible for a user to resize a textbox when needed?

    I know it is possible on a desktop, but I was disappointed that is was not possible on an iPad.

    Or am I wrong?

    Hi, 

    You can set up your forms to be mobile responsive, that will automatically resize text boxes based on the device and dimensions. 

    Here's how to make your form mobile responsive:

    You can also make use of our Mobile Responsive widget, as it will automatically detect the device you're using and resize accordingly.

     

    Hope this helps, please let us know if you need any further help.

     

    Thank you!

    First of all: I appreciate the speed of reply! Super!
    I did what you suggested: I made my form responsive, but now all the questions have shrinked into a left oriented column. That’s not what I want. So I disabled the responsiveness. But unfortunately the questions stay on the left side.
    See screenshot:
    How do I get the question text back to its normal state: the width of the form?
    At the right side of the textbox you see 2 little slashes: to resize the textbox to accomodate more lines of text. However these slashes disappear when viewed on a iPad.
    So back to my first question: how can I resize these boxes?
    Tanks in advance!
