==================
I have  LimeSurvey Community Edition  Version 5.4.7. I have multiple short texts with three fields and I want to increase the size of the third field. Is this possible? Or is it possible to make it at least resizable?

Hi,
I did it with this javascript snippet:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:complete',function()    {
  $('#question{QID} input:eq(0).form-control').css({ 'width':'20%' });
  $('#question{QID} input:eq(1).form-control').css({ 'width':'60%' });
  $('#question{QID} input:eq(2).form-control').css({ 'width':'40%' });
  $('#question{QID} input:eq(3).form-control').css({ 'width':'80%' });
});
</script>



In my opinion there should be a plain css solution, but I did not find it.

There is:

Code:
<style type="text/css" data-author="Tony Partner">
 
#question{QID} li.answer-item:nth-child(1) .form-control { width: 20%; }
#question{QID} li.answer-item:nth-child(2) .form-control { width: 60%; }
#question{QID} li.answer-item:nth-child(3) .form-control { width: 40%; }
#question{QID} li.answer-item:nth-child(4) .form-control { width: 80%; }

</style>

I missed the "nth-child". Instead I tried "eq()" without success.

Thanks, Tony

Thank you very much!
But is it possible to extend it not horizontally, but vertically?

Sorry,
please read the manual about question types.
This is a built in setting.
