    At present the field for 'other' only shows about 15 characters. How can I increse this so that maybe 50 characters can be added by the participant and they can see what they are typing.

     

    thanks

    Hi,

    You can increase that by injecting custom css in your form. Below is the code you need.

    .form-radio-other-input, .form-checkbox-other-input {

    width: 180px !important;

    }

    I am new to CSS but with your great advice, happy to give it a go - many thanks

     

    Done! worked a treat. Now I am working on increasing the field size for #first and #last names.

    Hi,

    For that form, use these CSS codes for the first and last name.

    #first_15 {

    width: 200px !important;

    }

    #last_15 {

    width: 240px !important;

    }

    Just change the px values to your preference.

    Let us know if you need anything else. Regards!
