How to display two questions in the same line?

On a separate note. Is it possible to create a multi-column layout to display 2 questions on the same line? Many of the questions we have are short and if we could add 2 or more to 1 line it would help to shorten the form significantly. 

Yes, this is possible to do, and you only need to follow the steps on this guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/90-Form-Field-Positioning

It will help you to display the fields in the same line, if this does not help or you need to achieve something different, please let  us know and we will be glad  to help since this perhaps would need to inject some CSS codes.
