1) This is not a bug but a matter of preference. You should be able to reposition the <p> that contains the textarea with CSS by removing the float style.

2) This may be a bug. Please open a ticket at the bugtracker and include a sample survey and your fix.

3) Mazi is correct - your template generates some 20 odd HTML errors that need to be cured. I also recommend starting anew with the current Basic template.

Yes, thanks, I have migrated to a new template based on the most recent version of "Basic". This solves the original problem with the "other" field (listed as #3 in previous posts).

I have also submitted the Ranking-resize issue (#2) to the bug tracker.

I still am not completely sure about the fix for my first problem (the floating label; #1). I am afraid I am a survey designer/researcher, not a developer, and don't really understand the details of CSS. Do you mean I should take the float out of:
Code:
.list-with-comment p.comment {
  margin: 0%;
  padding: 0.5em;
  text-align: left;
  float: left;
  width: 47%;
}

in template.css?

Thanks for any pointers in the right direction...

Yup, remove the "float: left;" and "width: 47%;". You'll also need to do the same to .list-with-comment div.list.

Please, how do I do to put lines in the box "other" in multiple option? I changed to 300px in the CSS, but it still have a single line and the person who is answering cannot see all the inputed text.

There is no way to change that from a text input to a textarea.

Is it also possible to somehow apply this to only one particular "other" text box rather than to all of them? I.e can a custom class be set up that can somehow be applied just to the "other" option in a multiple choice question?

Hi,
this thread started 7 years ago.
Probably LS version 1.92 or so.

I think you are using a newer version, but which one?

For version 3.13.2. I can show this:
Enter in the question text (source code mode:
Code:
<style type="text/css">.form-control {
    width: 500px !important;
}
</style>

Play around with the width to your needs.

LimeSurvey version?

Do you want to apply it to all multiple-choice questions?

My solution would be to assign a CSS class to the question and place the style rules in your custom.css file so they are in the <head> element rather than the <body>.

Although, in HTML5, placing styles in the <body> is valid, it will force the browser to re-render the page as it loads. This causes an extra load on the browser and may be visible to the user. As a result, I try to avoid styles in the <body> element.

1) Assign a CSS class to the question something like "input-width-500".

2) Place something like this in custom.css:

Code:
.input-width-500 input[type="text"].form-control {
    width: 500px;
}
 
@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .input-width-500 input[type="text"].form-control {
    width: auto;
  }
}
Cheers,

Thanks, Tony! I will try this way as well. It's kind of what I was going for but couldn't quite figure out.
