    We have a form located at http://www.tycousa.net/page/bound-books

    It is also at https://form.jotform.com/62446100634144

    When viewed on an iPad an extra space is inserted before the form (see attached screen shot).  We've tried a lot of different things but with no luck in removing that space.  In desktop and iPhone mode it works fine.

     

    Thank you.

    Although I don't have an actual iPad to test it with, I was able to replicate the extra spacing through an iPad emulator. To fix this, can you try the following CSS Codes:

    @media only screen 

      and (min-device-width: 768px) 

      and (max-device-width: 1024px) 

      and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1) {

        .jotform-form {

          padding: 0;

    }

    The result should look something like this:

    Here's how/where to inject the CSS Codes:

    Please keep us posted if it worked or not.

    Thank you.  That worked on the iPad but for some reason it doesn't work when on a computer with a scaled down browser window.  Is there a fix for that?

     

    Also, how do i get more space above the header "Request Info & Pricing" and below the top border line.

     

    Thank you.

    If you are resizing the browser window than the min device length specified in the injected CSS code, the default settings will be applied. If you can let us know to what size you are resizing the window so that we can provide you with the CSS code.

    how do i get more space above the header "Request Info & Pricing" and below the top border line.

    Please inject the following CSS code to your JotForm so that some space will be displayed above the header as shown below:

    #cid_10 {

        padding-top: 20px !important;

    }

    Thank you but the code for top padding did not work for our form.  Is #cid_10 the correct identifier?  How do we confirm that?

    The #cid_10 is the correct CSS selector. It is not working because you are missing a curly brace in line 57. Please try inserting a "}" above the #cid_10.

    Now, for the top space, you can insert this CSS code to remove it.

    @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
    .jotform-form {
    padding: 0px 0 !important;
    }
    }

    @media screen and (max-width: 768px) and (min-width: 480px) {
    .jotform-form {
    padding: 0px 0 !important;
    }
    }

    You might also want to re-embed the form using the Iframe method if the embedded form is not responsive. Here's a guide: Getting-the-form-iFrame-code.

    Hope that helps. Thank you.
