How to change spacing between the fields

    Is it possible to modify the height of title and texte labels, not the size of the characters (I know it is possible) but the vertical size of the label ? The space under and above title or text is too big. Thanks for your help.

    By reducing th space above and under Title/Text, do you mean reducing the vertical space between fields ? Please check that guide.

    Or are you talking about the padding between the text of the label and the field itself ?

    In the image below, this is the custom css used, so the space gets reduced between checkboxes and the label  a) Vous consultez le site internet de SEL

    .form-label-top {
        margin-bottom: 6px;
        display: block;
        white-space: normal;
        padding-top: 0px;
        padding-bottom: 0px;
    }

    My problem is the padding between text of the label and the field itself. How can I modify the padding ?

    First, you are using two different fields (text field and checkbox field) which both has padding that's why they're a little far form each other.

    You may consider using the following CSS codes.

    .form-html p {

    margin: 0;

    }

    [data-type="control_text"] {

    margin-bottom: 0;

    }

    [data-type="control_checkbox"] {

    margin-top: 0;

    }

    So it would look like this.

    You can also control the spacing between each fields in the form builder.

    I understand your answer, but I don't know how modifying CSS code. I have firebug but it is not possible to modify CSS code with firebug. My computer is Mac. How can I manage ?

    Sorry about that, you have to inject the provided CSS codes to your form.

    Here's a guide for that: http://www.jotform.com/help/117-How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes
