    I cant figure out why my text area for "zip code" is so big. I do not want it to be so wide! I messed around with the css coding but have had no luck. Help!

    Hi,

    You need to apply custom CSS in order to change size of text area. Inside of your form go to Setup & Embed, then click on Preferences. Select Form Style tab and inside of Inject Custom CSS field at the end of existing code add this part of code:

    #input_22{

    width:150px;

    height:30px;

    }

    Changing the parameters width and height will give you the desired size of text area.

    Hope this will help.

    it worked wonderfully thank you!

    But how do I get the field to sit next to "zip code" instead of below it?

    Hi, 

    If you want that text field is next to "zip code" instead of below it try adding this code:

    float: right;

    margin-right: 22px;

    margin-top: -45px;

    Your code need to be inside #input_22 element. That means that with this changes code will look like this:

    #input_22{

    width:150px;

    height:30px;

    float: right;

    margin-right: 22px;

    margin-top: -45px;

    }

    Hope this will help.

    That worked wonderfully as well, hopefully my last issue but if you enter information into the field, part of it disappears.  What am I doing wrong?

    I see that now you have problem with input value that you are adding inside of Zip code field.

    To fix that just add :

    padding-left: 10 px 

    inside of #input_22 element.

    Hope this will help.

    I added it inside of the #input_22 element and it didnt solve the problem.

    Instead of code i mentioned in last comment add:

    .form-textbox{

    padding-left:10px;

    }
