Thank you for getting back to me.
I am using the bluengrey template (renamed to copy_of_noprivacyNoprogressBluengrey [we took off privacy as we have to use initial IRB screen and progress since we are using subquestions so it's misleading) but since it said settings in other thread were for default I did try them with that template also (same results though).
Overnight another worker did something and it looks ok now for us on both netbooks and laptops. I'd liked your code because it used percents so resized nicely (I was hoping for iphones too).
Not 100% sure what he's done, he did not put settings at the end like I was doing based on instructions in other thread. I think he actually changed coding for slider questions.
I've activated testing survey and it is here
ubcomm.org/limesurvey/index.php?sid=43635&lang=en Really all is ok now though. thank you. (note: first question, which is really a group of subquestions with sliders, was what I was working on; second question only exists as I was comparing layout to first question. We use limesurvey to run pair comparison surveys.)
Unless you have ideas on how we might have slider width change depending on computer/phone displaying survey, our present hard coding (he actually set the pixels I believe) is sufficient. All is well and I'm sorry to take your time.
