Thanks again. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/label-with-2-input-fields#post-3541 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:34:53 +0000 webcommerce 3541@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks to redityo.<br /> (As usual) excellent advice ...</p> <p>I tried your code on another form but I couldn't get it to do what I want.<br /> Probably it's not possible with the current form format when mixing section break and other text fields.</p> <p>What I would like to see is another field as part of the standard form building set similar to the name field with the ability to size the two sub fields and name them. Maybe this is possible in another software update??</p> <p>The style has many possible uses, like How old are you/years/months, How long have you lived at this address/years/months, How long is this object?/feet/inches, How tall are you?/feet/inches,Insert parts code/alpha/number, etc</p> <p>The main advantage I see is that it would group the Header with fields more logically (closely?) which I can't get using current process. Plus it would show on printout of the data entry, which isn't happening now.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Ron S </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/label-with-2-input-fields#post-3532 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 14:39:42 +0000 redityo 3532@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>hmmm maybe with some trick it possible, I try it with some element with details :</p> <p>- section break : element_3<br /> - year : element_1<br /> - month : element_2</p> <p>ater that you can edit your CSS form and add these code :</p> <pre><code>#li_1 { float: left; width:15%; clear:both; } #li_1 label { float: left; width:32%; clear:both; } #li_2 { float:left; width:20%; } #li_2 label { float: left; width:40%; clear:both; } #li_3 h3 { border-top:none !important; font-weight:bold !important; font-size:98% !important; } #li_3 { border-top:none !important; } #li_4 { clear:both; }</code></pre> <p>You can mention there is "li_4" rules, it's use give line break for next element after year/month modification. I hope this is what you mean :) </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/label-with-2-input-fields#post-3526 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 10:53:43 +0000 webcommerce 3526@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I want to create a label that says How old are you: with two inputs 'years' and 'months'. Is it possible to do this?</p> <p>I realise it can be done with two separate text fields but it isn't very elegant.</p> <p>I looked at changing the Name Field but (other than doing it globally with languages.php) I can't see how it's possible.</p> <p>If it can't be done, can I suggest it would be a good future added feature.</p> <p>Ron S </p>
