Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/28044 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/28044 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: jjeff Reported by: jjeff Updated by: jjeff Status: patch (code needs review) Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/common.wide.patch (5.33 KB) We've all seen wide Drupal forms break a fixed width theme by "blowing out" the right side of the theme. Here's a solution to the problem. This patch adds a "wide" class tag to any textfield, password, textarea, or autocomplete form item with a width (size) of more than 40 characters. By also adding a css rule in drupal.css that sets any "wide" form-items to width:100%, we keep these form items under control. Of course the assumption is that any form items with a width greater than 40 are intended to be full width. Opposing viewpoints are welcome. Here's the css rule: .form-item .wide { width: 100%; } patch for common.inc is attached. jjeff
