Adding space between form fields on the same line - what method do YOU use?

How To
1

Hi, I’m interested to know any methods other Bricks Builder users employ to put space between form elements, with as little fuss as possible.

It seems unnecessarily fiddly to me. It would be great to hear some techniques that others use.

Hi Simon,

Setting the width to something lower than 50% and space-between is one solution.
Another way is custom CSS:

root {
  column-gap: 20px;
}

root .form-group:nth-child(1),
root .form-group:nth-child(2) {
  width: calc(50% - 10px);
  max-width: 100%;
}

There is no question that neither is ideal and there’s room for improvement, but overall, it works for now. However, we’ll probably improve the form over time, as there are many form-related requests on the idea board.

Best regards,
timmse

Hi @timmse,

It’s great that you’re thinking about improving this in the form element. In general, it is better to have row gap and column gap controls like the element form. This will be much more efficient.

cheers

Can you provide the URL?

Hey @paulchiao ,
Set the field width of the first four fields to something like 49% (or less, if you want a larger gap) and the field alignment to "space-between as already mentioned.

Or use the custom CSS solution (updated to the new root syntax):

%root% {
  column-gap: 20px;
}

%root% .form-group:nth-child(-n+4) {
  width: calc(50% - 10px);
  max-width: 100%;
}
