How can I set the size and the position of textfields and message boxes (for a php form) to fix and valid positions.
They are in every browser, in windows and osx
different. Even In Freeway Pro is the size different.
Thanks very much for support.

I have a free action called ‘Form Element Styler’ and can be
downloaded from the following page:
http://www.easibase.com/freeway/freewayactions.php
This will let you set the width and height of text fields and areas,
it will also let you set a coloured border and/or change the field
fill colour, it will even let you change the fill colour of fields and
text areas onFocus, see the contact form here:
http://www.easibase.com/easicontact.php
This above contact form uses PHP easiForm, PHP easiCaptcha and the
Form Element Styler action so you can see how you can make the field
styles with the ‘Form Element Styler’ action.

- Can I use a table as php form (How can I
ad threr textfields into the “tablewindow”?
I think tables are fine ‘contra to may others’ and generally I never
create a form without one, so create your table, say with 2 columns ,
use the left columns for element text and the right columns for the
elements, to inset an element in a cell it is like adding test to a
cell, insert the cursor * inside * the cell and then select ‘Insert >
Text field’ will insert a text field in the cell. Then to use the Form
Element Styler action with this you select the field and then
selecting ‘Item > Actions > Form Element Styler action’ will apply the
action to the field, you now need to add the options you want to use
with it.
You can create a style that styles the text to the right then indents
it to the left by 5px, apply it to the text in the cells beside the
form elements and the text and form element will all line up nicely.
Tip: when you have set one field up you could copy and past it into
the other cells you need text fields in, this way all you will need to
do is change the name of the field and adjust the width in the action
if different that the width of other, no need to fill in all the
options in the action inspector every time this way although you will
for the text area as you cannot use a pasted field for a text area.

I really appreciate your answer, Mike. I’ll try it out now. I owe you a beer. Or two. Or three…

I, too, have struggled with this exact problem. There is also an action called “FreezeFormAction” that works exactly as described. I think credit goes to Walt, but I’m not sure.
It’s available at http://actionsforge.com/actions/view/64-freezeformaction
Good luck,
