Thanks! Is there a list of all the built-in classes somewhere that we can take a look at? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/problem-with-field-alignment-successive-same-number-columns-dont-line-up#post-15444 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 17:09:31 +0000 yuniar 15444@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>That field (Name 2) seems need to be cleared indeed. To clear the field, you can add "new_row" class name into the field.<br /> So, the class names being applied to Name 2 would be "<strong>column_2 new_row</strong>" </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/problem-with-field-alignment-successive-same-number-columns-dont-line-up#post-15437 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 04:00:33 +0000 williamansley 15437@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I have noticed a problem when using the built-in field alignment classes described here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.appnitro.com/doc-field-alignment" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/doc-field-alignment</a></p> <p>If I try to have more than two sets of two column or three column items (I haven't tested it with larger numbers of columns, but I assume the same problem applies to them as well), some of the subsequent lines don't align properly. For example, if I wanted to get a layout like this:</p> <p>[Name 1] [Email 1]<br /> [Name 2] [Email 2]</p> <p>And I do so by adding the built-in class "column_2" to the Custom CSS Class field for all of the above fields, it turns out like this:</p> <p>[Name 1] [Email 1]<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[Name 2] [Email 2]</p> <p>If I have any field, such as a section break. without a custom CSS class assigned to it between the first two and second two matching fields, it "fixes" the problem.</p> <p>[Name 1] [Email 1]<br /> [section break]<br /> [Name 2] [Email 2]</p> <p>I assume that this is happening because the float imposed by the column_n built in classes is not cleared. Is there a way to deal with this without adding extra "spacer" fields? </p>
