How do I decrease spacing b/t selection on Image Radio Button widget?

    I was able to decrease the widget width and image width, but the SPACING b/t widgets remains large (too large for in to fit on same line with other question, which is my goal). 

    I believe the images are as small as is acceptable.

    Well, I moved a dividing line above it.  That fixed it for some reason.

    Is there a way to make the single image line up (horizontally)with the other images (in the Image Radio Button widget)?

    You can add this CSS code to your form to align the single image:

    li#id_48 {

        padding-top: 52px;

    }

    Perfect...well done.  Thank you.

    btw: Is there a bank of css options that apply to jotform?  I'm sure if I new css well, that would be a ridiculous question, but I am looking to see if there is an in-between step for the rest of us...so we don't have to bother y'all for EVERY change we want to make.

    I don't mind doing it this was, but I didn't want to waste your time if there were another way I was missing.

    Thank you.

    It seems some code has perhaps decreased the spacing too much.

    Here is my attempt at a 4-column, "Shrunk" "single-choice" field on a previously-altered document.  I suspect the problem in in some css that I added or changes in the Advanced Editor that I made, but I haven't been able to figure it out.  This one does not separate the choice text from buttons: ( https://form.jotform.com/73254087390156 ).  I would like to know what it is that is messing it up.

    Here it is on a new document.  This one will not shrink enough for another filed to be on the same line: ( https://form.jotform.com/73305400184143 )

    I would like the vertical space-saving of the columns, have room for a second element on the same line, and still have it clearly spaced.

    Not sure which edit you made could have caused this issue, but please try injecting the following code to solve the problem:

    #cid_3,#cid_49{

        min-width: 190px;

    }

    #cid_3.form-radio-item label {

        margin-left: -5px;

        padding-right: 15px;

    }

    #cid_49.form-radio-item label {

        margin-left: -5px;

        padding-right: 15px;

    }

    Does that mean that I will need to add that code for EVERY single choice with columns  that I want to be able to shrink enough to fit another element on the line?

    If you will be using the same method to position the new fields in the same form, then most likely you will have to add the same CSS code with different field IDs to the form.
