Webform Drama's

Good Guess's picture

I have created a webform for the site....have following questions related to that

1) How to modify the width and height for textarea...I have disabled the Resizable option by the user option(as I don't want this option for the user)....I have read else where that if I enter Width and Height settings in the webform settings that a themes css settings can override it....If this true where should I find this file?

2) How do I get it to display the webform on one page....currently it has a brief into and then has page 1 2 3 at the bottom....

3) When the page gets published it makes itself the home page and overrides the current home page....any idea how to make it just a page not the actual home page

Cheers

thanks for the patience, understanding and on going help

Hi there. A link to your test

Hi there. A link to your test site would be helpful and let us know if you are using D7.

3) Its probably displaying on the front page as your front page is a collection of recent pages. You can either a) tell the form not to show on the front page (perhaps make a menu item instead) at edit > Promoted to front page or b) override the front page collection with a specific front page at admin/config/system/site-information > Default front page.

2) I expect this to resolve when you resolve 3)

1) Edit the Webform > Form components > Textarea. Under the display fly-out you should have width and height variables.

Hi there queen....

I am using drupal 7

thanks for the help with solving 2 and 3 worked a treat...bur with 1 am still trying to sort it out...

thanks again will get back to you

It is possible that the theme

It is possible that the theme is overriding your textarea already. There should be one (or more than one) .css file residing along the path sites/all/themes/[yourtheme]. Also check for parent themes.

You are looking for a declaration like
textarea { width: 400px; height: 400px; }

Did you check the textarea component?

re It is possible that the theme

Yeah I checked the textarea component via the Webform/Edit/Display area right?

A few interesting things ....in IE and Chrome the textarea looks normal put in FF its not sized correctly any ideas why that may be happening queen?

I am running drupal 7.7 would updating to 7.12 make any difference?

PS...thanks for ongoing help queen

Good Guess, it sounds like

Good Guess, it sounds like there are some CSS issues and I don't think updating your version of Drupal will help fix them.

Inspect the textarea in Firebug in Firefox to see if there is anything overriding the CSS in Firefox. A good way to debug is to put !important at the end of your textarea size declaration in your theme's CSS. If this fixes the problem you know there is something overriding the theme CSS in Firefox. You should be able to narrow it down from there and perhaps try and be more specific with your height/weight CSS selector, eg by including an ID if there are only classes.

If you are still having problems it would be helpful if you could share a link to the site with the problem. Otherwise perhaps you should jump onto #drupal-au on IRC. Someone might be able to help you figure this out a bit quicker in IRC than the drupal.org messages back and forth!

Good luck,
Erica.
