I updated to 2.55 but now i can't find the text input width option for a short text field?
The input boxes are too small. Where do i have to change this?

Hi, csmart,

if you do not find it in "Advanced settings" I'd say something went wrong with your update.

There is an option to give a relative value. In the manual manual.limesurvey.org/Question_type_-_Sh...8text_input_width.29 it says there should be an option to set the width in characters.

I see now that de box width changes with the layout template i choose. But i have no idea where in css i should adjust this?

Hi, csmart,
well, the percentages in the "Advanced settings" refer to the grid system of bootstrap. (12 columns).
With the default value of "100%" you can enter some css into the question text to set the width in pixel:
Code:
#answer766924X56X15719
{
width:300px;
}
where 766924 is the surveyID
56 the groupID
15719 the questionID.

But doing that will destroy the responsiveness of the template.

Obviously the manual refers to a version before 2.50

Best regards
