2 columns on mobile
Hi,
I am trying to create a form which is simply 2 columns wide to display on a mobile, but no matter what sizing i choose, formidable will only display single columns. Is there a way around this ? example layout below .
Business name (100% width)
Email ( 100% width)
Invoice number (50%) Invoice Amount (50%)
1234567 105.99
Looking to make 2 fields wide by 4 fields down. It would fit on mobile display with no problems as when i custom size the boxes, they would fit side by side but i just cant get it to do it. Would really appreciate some guidance on this thanks guys.
cheers

Not sure if this will help, but you can add your own classes to the HTML on the form's settings/customize HTML screen. Then you can add the custom CSS to the appropriate media queries in your theme's style.css.

Thanks for the reply!
Sounds a bit too complicated as i have quite a few forms ( 20 ) so there might be an issue where one form might not display correctly. Is it possible to add css to each form or will it be a global effect ?
cheers

Adding classes on the settings/customize HTML page applies to each form individually. But as with anything CSS, you can qualify specific classes with the form id. For example, let's say you have a form with the id of contact-form. You might add a custom class to a field on that form. The class name is my-custom-class.
Now, if you add my-custom-class to fields on other forms, it would have a global impact if you added the following css to styles.css:
.my-custom-class {
color: red;
}
To further qualify this so the contact-form is different, you would use:
#contact-form .my-custom-class {
color: blue;
}
It's all up to you about how you want to apply the CSS.

HI Vfontjr,
Thats a bit out of my remit at the moment. I would'nt know how to create the second column or float the next filed to the right of the other field. Think i need a crash course in css :(
thanks

Hi,
Would disabling the media query or overriding it do what i need?
If so, would anyone know the command for this ?
thanks

You can't disable a media query. The CSS in question is likely coming from Formidable's CSS. You can override media queries with new CSS, but you already mentioned that it's a little beyond your CSS skill set. Perhaps you'd consider hiring a developer for a few hours?
