Javascript - how to resize the choice text size in a form type question?

You said vertical, but width refers the horizontal size. Assuming you want to increase the width of the label column. It would be:
labelPercent = 50 //set to desired percentage width for label column
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").parent().css((100 - labelPercent)+"%");

https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/29486#Comment_29486Hi Tom, Thank you for your input. I actually wanted to increase the vertical size of the labels in a forms field. for instance, I want the labels "name:, emal address:" to span further than the crunched up space on the left. can you help? :)

You can use this CSS:
.Skin .TE .FORM table td { padding:30px 0px; }
Set 30px to whatever value meets your needs.

TomG :
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").css("width","60%");
});

Where do I add it to?

Where do I add it to?

Oh yes. that I figured. I meant where does this get inserted. I keep getting an error likeI am missing text or appending it to the wrong string.
.Skin .TE .FORM table td { padding:30px 0px; }

Hello everyone,
I seem to face a similar challenge, only that I would like to minimize the label column, so that the text entry columns move further left - this is particularly relevant for the mobile view as you can see below:
I've tried out different code (html and JS) from the conversation above, but so far, none solved my challenge - am grateful for any support! :)

Left-Align "Form" Text Entry Question — XM Community (qualtrics.com)
Works perfectly with the code in this thread ;)

I have a similar but slightly different question than Soumya, but it looks like this should address it. I do want to adjust the size of the labels - where it says “click to write Form Field 1”. However, when I input the suggested code, it doesn’t seem to do anything.

I don’t actually know JavaScript, so I’m just cutting and pasting. I’ve tried to make a few adjustments, but it doesn’t seem to help. I paste starting with jQuery and ending with “); I’ve tried replacing labelPercent with different numbers, and I’ve tried 100 - labelPercent = 50 or other numbers. I’ve also tried inserting numbers before the % in quotation marks.

Are you able to provide any help with this? Thank you!

@ZSmith - I suspect you are using simple layout, and if that’s the case the JS won’t work.
