I want to be able to set the column widget between questions in the side by side question. Has anyone had luck doing this? I know it is probably just an HTML tweak, but I can't figure out how to do this.

Before anyone says anything, yes, I have tried manually changing the columns in the question builder, but it is inconsistent in the survey.

You can set the width of the columns to a consistent size like this:
.Skin .SBS thead .Headings th[scope=col] { width:25%; }
However, whether they stay that size will depend on the content of the columns.

  • On the page level by adding inside a
