Hi everyone,

I have a customized array question with three columns: two selects and a free text field. The free text field is the third column.
Answers in the free text field may be 1 to 3 sentences long.
How can I make the size of the text field bigger or expandable?

If so, how would I add it to this code? Many thanks!!! --Mela

Hi,
Add this script to get different sizes of your columns.
and this css  


If you want to have a larger text input field there are solutions here with a button that opens a modal.
Just do a search for it.

Denis has a question theme for textareas in an array - gitlab.com/SondagesPro/QuestionTheme/arrayTextArea

Here a thread that covers both your requrements
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...t-of-array-text-cell [/url]

@tpartner,
Searching the forum for this solution originally from @DenisChenu and @srauld I saw your post too late.

Hi all,

I have a text array question where the text field has been replaced by a "datepicker" in column 1. I am trying to use the solution described in this thread (and elsewhere) to modify the column widths without success, although I have already used this solution successfully before. Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot for your help!!
Ana

This is the code I added to the source of the question:

I have also tried without defining the custom class with this code and didn't work either.  

Hi,please do not provide lsq nor lsg exports, only lss.

But I do not see any issue using this script(s) 
1. date picker
2. Customized column widths
3. The css
  
 

Joffm

Small copy/paste typo
1 date picker

2. Customized column widths
css as before.

Joffm

Thanks a lot! This works great! (and sorry about sending the wrong type of file).
I will take some time to compare the codes to see where was my problem.

Best regards,

Ana
