[Pro] Text area on feedback form too big

Freeway
1

The rest of the feedback form is in line but I can’t get the text area (Details) to follow. The other boxes are all text fields.

You’re going to have to publish this on a server somewhere. (Thankfully) we cannot navigate directly to your Mac.

I copied the tab I was using to preview it…thanks for not inspecting my HD.

How big are you expecting it to be - you have it set at cols=“47” rows=“11”

You can change this by setting it in the inspector. With the Text Area selected look under the 3rd Tab (same place you added the Placeholder text)

Thanks for that. I wanted it to match the other fields but it comes out smaller in the F6 preview tab than in the Firefox preview.

This shouldn’t be necessary in Freeway 6 – the same trick I used in FreezeFormItem is built into the core of the application. There is a natural slight difference in size between the two field types, because to their difference in padding. You can try adding the Box Sizing Action to these items, that will force them to behave exactly alike in all cases.

Looking at your page in the Safari Web Inspector, it looks like you aren’t getting IDs and id-based styles for your form fields. How did you make these elements? Did you try dragging them out to the width of your table cell? Just setting the width with the size attribute as you have done won’t make them line up, because the cols attribute of a textarea works differently than the size attribute of an input.
