    I have a textbox table and would like to extend the length of the input field.  It seems that no matter what I do the field names are larger than the input fields.  When I have users with longer input they think there is not enough room for their input...or when it partly disappears from view they aren't sure what they have entered.  I am attaching an image of the page...

    Hi there,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    To extend your input field text boxes, kindly please try injecting the following CSS.


    .form-matrix-table {

        width : 450px;

    }


    .form-matrix-row-headers {

        width : 120px;

    }

    I hope that helps, feel free to reach out to us again should you need further help.

    Cheers!

    Greetings and thank you for your message.

    To extend the input fields, please make sure you maximize the width of the field by clicking the right-click on the field and selecting Unshrink:

    Additionally, please go to field Properties and select the Options tab. From there you can set the table and column width.

    Table width represents the full width of a table and column width should not be less than the table width. If a table width is a larget than it's a container, a scroll bar will appear:

    For this example table width is set to 700px and column width to 350px.

    Additionally, you can try the suggestion that bertarceo3 has provided, but please note that this will affect every table. You can click here to see how you can inject custom CSS.
