I have been playing w/ the free version of formidable for a couple of days. The one thing I cannot figure out how to do in formidable is display entries side-by-side, instead of top down. So what I want is something like :
First Name [============] Last Name [============]
But all I can figure out how to do is
First Name [============]
Last Name [============]
What am I missing?
Similarly, is there a way to make options show up horizontally. So instead of:
Which do you prefer:
[]Cats
[]Dogs
[]Birds
I would like
Which do you prefer: [] Cats []Dogs []Birds

To make the text fields align in a row, you can edit your customizable HTML. You can change the first line of both of those fields from:
<div id="frm_field_[id]_container" class="form-field [required_class] [error_class]">
to:
<div id="frm_field_[id]_container" class="form-field [required_class] [error_class]" style="float:left;">
Then, at the bottom of the second field (last name in your example), add:
<div style="clear:both"></div>
To make the fields align in a row, you can either change this in your Pro styling settings, edit your custom HTML (ie: [input opt=1] [input opt=2] [input opt=3]), or add a little css to your theme style.css:
.form-field .frm_checkbox label{display:inline'}

Thank you for the response. I have gotten it to sort of work, though I must say CSS is not my strongpoint :) Is rearranging layouts at that level something that is available in the pro version, or do you have to use CSS to tackle that one?
Right now I am creating a test between Contact Form 7 and Formidable. Ultimately I want the data in a database, which is one strong reason for Formidable. You can see my comparison at: http://www.dublinroboticsboost…..page_id=90
I mentioned I got it to "sort of" work because if you scroll to the bottom where the formidable test is, you'll see Last Name is aligned with the top of the first name text box, so it is making a staircase :)

Hmm.. Looks like you pulled out the <label> tags. There's not any way to style them if there's not a way to specify them. Some of this can be styled in the Pro settings. You can click here to see the options. If you want to reset the customizable HTML, you can just clear out the box and save your form.

Thanks again for the reply. I was able to get it to work. The first time, I only added the CSS to the first field. Looking back at your original reply you clearly state "…change the first line of both of those fields…" So I didn't follow directions :)

Thanks for telling me how, now I just need to know "where". I am not using PRO but the free version. I cannot find the html code to customize. I see the code you indicated in a file called FrmFieldsHelper.php, but changing it there did nothing.

This is not in a file. There is an "Edit HTML" button under the "Advanced Form Options" at the bottom of the form edit page.
