I was able to create a dual array question with added text boxes thanks to some awesome information I found here! However, I am struggling to change the width of the columns/and or separator. I have tried different scripts that I found on this forum, and also tried to change the template, but nothing works. Most of what I found was from several years ago, so maybe that is the problem.

Could anyone please take a look and point me in the right direction? I have attached the question group, and a picture of what it looks like. I would like the separator column to be very thin or non-existent, and the text box column to be a bit wider.

I am using LS 3.22.12, and a custom template that is an extension of the fruity template.

Thank you!

Please always provide a LSS file, not a LSG file.

Why you might ask. It is so much more convenient for you, right?

Yes, but it is not convenient for the helpers in the forum. Limesurvey Question group files (LSG) are language sensitive. This means, the base language needs to be in the same language as the survey you import this into.

And, it makes the helpers in the forum to create a survey to import your LSG file into. In many cases there also might be general settings of a survey than might have an impact on the problem (probably not your case).

So help us to help you. Export a LSS file with ONLY the groups and questions that are relevant to your problem and not the whole survey. This is a little bit of extra work for you, because in many cases you might have to create a copy of your survey and delete everything that is not necessary. But it helps the helpers here, that often respond a lot of questions per day and each additional step is taking some time for them. Keep in mind that most people responding in this forum are volunteers and do so during their spare time.

Add to your custom.css:
.header_separator {width:2%}

or whatever width you would like to have.

And keep in mind holch's remarks.

Volunteers are not paid.
Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless
