How do I change the survey width?? 1 year 2 months ago #75322

jsmello OFFLINE Junior Lime Posts: 32 Karma: 0	How do I change the survey width in normal group of question? I need it because I want to "uniform" the pages width. I've used the following code and it is not working: <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).ready(function() { /////// Survey layout manipulation //////// // Fix the width of the survey $( 'table.outerframe' ).css({ 'width': '1060px' }); }); </script>

I also noticed that the survey overview screen does not fit in my screen (1366x768 pixels) since LS 2.0.

But I think this has mainly to do with the form elements for searching among the available surveys. Maybe this can be reduced so that it at least fits into screens of 1280px width, or better 1024px. Because I am sure that limesurvey is used also in countries where screens are still fairly small.

Have a look at the manual! It is a really valuable source for information. Here some helpful links:

tpartner OFFLINE LimeSurvey Team Posts: 2864 Thank you received: 425 Karma: 245	Hi holch, If you are referring to the listings of surveys in the admin backend (at /index.php/admin/survey/index), the jqGrid code is set to display that table at a width of screensize - 20px so it should all fit if you maximize the browser.

Well, screensize is not a good measure for this kind of things. It should be the viewport size. Because in my Windows 7 I have the task bar fixed to the left of the screen. So this might be my problem.

But I think I am not the only one doing this, especially on widescreen monitors with a smaller resolution (e.g. notebook), this should be very common.

On a bigger screen I would probably have two windows open. For example when passing a questionnaire in word format to Limesurvey, then I would run half of the screen (minus the left bar) for the browser with limesurvey and half the screen for word. I think this is a common workflow with big screens.

Is there a way to make it the viewport width - 20px instead of the screen width - 20px? I think this would increase usability.
