Mark, there is none way to set width or height inside UI beside the settings above.

Did you already try to set the width with CSS, for example

.UDT_Input Input {width:80px}

Thanks, good to know i'm not doing anything wrong in the UI.

I have one CSS file: 'module.css'  - there was no 'UDT_Input' setting, but added the css above anyway and it did change the width of the box when css was selected.

 Ideally i would like the box on the same line as default (display: inline didn't work, so i'm left with a work-around hack - e.g. top:-20px; left: 200px; - but this ins't an ideal way of formatting the form as the boxes will be in  a fixed position for every form created)

example of my form here (boxes looking a bit big unless css mode is selected, or don't appear on same line):
http://192.168.0.2/development/Home/test/tabid/335/language/en-GB/Default.aspx 

as for the formatting of the form when css is not selected in module settings:

in the back end i have tried editing:
configuration.ascx (e.g. edited width, column and MaxLength properties)
settings.ascx (width property)
template.ascx (e.g. columns property)
token2xsl.ascx (e.g. width and column properties)
list.ascx (width property)
settings.ascx (width property)
templatelist.ascx (width property)


is it only possible to change the width when css edit mode is selected?

First,I suggest to install Firebug, I could not work without that fantastic tool.You can lookup elements and you see which css classes are applied to an elememt and which css stylesheet sets values for the classes.

You can set CSS for FnL in a lot of places:

default.css
module.css
skin.css
portal.css

and you can even apply css on the page level if needed.

FnL comes with a set of css classes, and it is by design that it has no presets in module.css as this only limits the designer.

As example. compare form A with form B.

You can apply css when ever you like, though it might take some time to get used to it.

Thanks, downloaded firebug and also CSSViewer.

Looking at form example 'B' - did you have to name the labels like so: 'First Name'  - using HTML for the sapce?

As this is the only way i can get the labels to appear on the same line (unless i use css mode).

p.s.
I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but do pages i create in the UI exist physically in the back end (for me to edit)
e.g. such as you feedback.aspx page - could i navigate to any page i create from my server?
(Was wondering if i may find it easier to edit this).

thanks,
mark.

No escaping required, all pure CSS.

No, the pages don't exist as files, they are generated on the fly.
