    Not sure what happened. The form was perfect. Had 2 columns. My 2 columns are now wonky and my email, name and message fields are not lining up on the right. They keep jumping over to the left side. What went wrong?

    I was finished and now I'm not sure if I need to start all over again or what??

    Help!

    I presume that this is the form in question: http://www.jotform.us/form/51946169360158 Cheryl and that the issue is - based on the above, that the email, Full Name and the "Leave us a message... " text area should be in the right column.

    Now do let us know if that is not what you have meant and we would be happy to assist in setting up your jotform to be just as you like it.

    For example, I have added a Text element to your jotform (3 of them) and then added the following CSS code:

    #id_26, #id_27, #id_28 {
      min-width: 34%;
      max-width: 34%;
    }
    #stage #id_26, #stage #id_27, #stage #id_28 {
      background-color: lightBlue;
      border: 4px groove black;
    }

    This aligns your fields to the right just as your text was already, but you can see it for yourself here: http://form.jotformpro.com/form/52045919402957

    If you like it, you can clone it to your own account by following these steps: How to Clone an Existing Form from a URL

    This will allow you to see how it was done and you would be able to simply use it :)

    Now just to mention, that second part of the code (the one with #stage in it) is added to allow us to easily see these spacers. They are however only shown in the Form Builder and are never shown on your jotform. :)

    Hi Ben,Yes that seems to take me back to the layout in term of the columns but my edit page seems to be having an issue. I have included a screen shot to show you what I mean. This seems to be what caused my page to screw up in the first place.
     Thank you for such a quick response.

    Unfortunately, the screenshot did not come through, please check this guide to properly upload it: https://www.jotform.com/answers/277033-How-to-add-screenshots-images-to-questions-in-support-forum

    If you say that the column layout was properly setup, I would recommend you the following:

    1) Clone your form to have a back up: https://www.jotform.com/help/27-How-to-clone-an-existing-form-from-your-account

    2) On the original form, try to revert it to a previous version when the layout was fine: https://www.jotform.com/help/294-How-to-View-Form-Revision-History
