Increase box size of "other" option in multiple response was created by bwoo5
I have a multiple response question and have selected to show the "other" option. How can increase the width of the text box(input box) associated with the "other" option?

thanks!

Add this to the end of template.css (tested on the default template):
Code:
.multiple-opt .answer li input.text {
  width: 300px;
}

I wonder, if additionaly there might be an opportunity to 1) increase the numbers of lines of the "others"-box and 2) implement a scroll bar for the text box.

many thanks!

No, the "Other" field is a <input type="text"> element and therefor restricted to one line.

If you need multi-line, add a following long text question with relevance to show it when "Other" is checked.

template.css not found. Is there another CSS filename (version 3.7) ?

The file is now custom.css



But you will also need to modify the CSS rule:

Code:
.multiple-opt input[type="text"].form-control {
    width: 300px;
}

Hi,
Thanks for helping but I'm unable to make it work...
I added these lines to the custom.css of my active theme but there's no change... Did I make something wrong? Did I miss an option?

Thank you in advance.

What LimeSurvey version? Did you reset the theme?

LimeSurvey version is 3.14.8.
I just copied the default theme to change its custom.css then I activated it.
How do you reset a theme?

Thanks for the fast reply! :)

There is no "default" theme in 3.x.

This works for me in an extended version of the 3.15.9 vanilla theme:

Code:
.multiple-opt input[type="text"].form-control {
    width: 300px;
}



You can reset the theme in the themes list.



You can also clear the tmp assets in Configuration --> Global settings --> General.



You might also try setting debug to 1 in /application/config/config.php. This will bypass the assets manager so all CSS, etc. is loaded directly from the theme directory.

I did all of this, but still not working... My theme is based on fruity, I'll try with Vanilla.

I attached some screenshots, tell me if you need more information.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ok I found the problem! My surveys were created under fruity theme, and when I set my extends_fruity as default theme, it didn't apply to old surveys automatically, I had to apply it for old survey.

Thanks for helping and sorry for the inconvenience!
