Span Value and Comments
« on: June 16, 2014, 03:11:14 AM »
C 9.0
NT 7.35

I'm trying to get the comments to snug up just to the right of a number field, but have the number field aligned so it is not snugged up to the prompt field.  From reading threads on this, it appears that all I have to do to get the effect is to check the "Span Prompt/Value/Column" checkbox and then apply a custom CSS to the prompt field to set the width of the field.  But, as you can see from the attached image, the value moves to the next line rather than aligning to the right at the position set by the prompt field width. 

Any suggestion for what I am doing incorrectly?
Thanks,
Mike Springer

Hi Johan,
Thanks - that was very instructive.  Bruce did a great job of making it clear.  I've been able to properly incorporate the changes needed to get the exact effect you were after and that I needed.
I appreciate your pointer to the webinar.
Mike
