Cant change text field size. 15 Jan 2014 10:02 #11987

I have tried as many ways as i can possibly think off to change the size of text fields but nothing seems to work. setting the size in the xml form set-up does nothing even going in and editing the jdom for that field type and specifically defining it to be 10px does nothing. Can anyone Help?

I guess its a css override but i can't see where its coming from.

Cheers

you can create style classes to their fields!
Whenever you create an element in your form,it acquired the ID Class (jform_) + the name that you set out on table. Sample:
id = "jform_adress"
id = "jform_city"
....

Now you can create the style for ids.
Sample:
#jform_adress
{
widht: 50px!important;
}


You can also take a espesífico class name for your forms through of the Online Generator. This way you can create a generic style classes for all elements of this form

It is a Bootstrap problem.

When it uses such classes : spanX, of input-xxxxx (ex: input-medium), then the with is dynamic and respect a grid.

Solution :
Remove those css classes, and then JDom param will be effective.

EDIT : The solution of neoneper is OK also.
it is using '!important' word, so be carefull with browser compatibilities.

Note that !important should only be used in particular cases.
So the best is to use my solution, I think. But still, I say, two solutions should work.
Coding is now a piece of cake

I have the same problem, and I understand how to create a whole new set of CSS for my forms.

But I can see that this is not just CSS, the html has cols and rows set which are not the setting I have saved in J-Cook.
<textarea id="jform_name" name="jform[name]" cols="32" rows="4"></textarea>

I am looking for a solution so that I don't have to go and edit every form in every view each time i update my component.

I did not understand the method described by admin

Remove those css classes, and then JDom param will be effective.


Which CSS classes?

  I found "cook" two days ago. Played around with it for a day and then within a day got rid of two legacy applications in IBM Lotus Domino Notes and replaced them with "cook". It was really easy. A piece of cake. Actually it was even easier than cooking. Cooking involves more work than developing with "cook". What can I say about "cook"? Great application great price for what it delivers great forum with a lot of information and fast responses active and friendly community fast forward moving development cycle So what should I say "Monsieur Le Cook"? Keep the good work going it will lead to success. Having become a paying member in the words of Edith Piaf may I say ..... non rien de rien ... je ne regrette rien. Vive La France.
