Resize TextBox

[Heather]

Hi everyone!

Is it possible to resize the textbox of an Inline Edit on a Tabular DataPage? The fields on the DataPage that I am working on are too long, but the values that to be inserted are just 2-digit numbers. I want to shorten the length of the textbox. How will I do that?

Thanks!

Hi @Heather,

Yes, it is possible to resize the textbox of an Inline Edit on a Tabular DataPage. In order to do that, follow the steps below.

Go to the "Configure Results page" screen of your DataPage, add a header & Footer element, select the "Header", click the "Source" button and copy paste the below style

<style>
input[name="InlineAddFIELDNAME"] {width: 20px !important;}
input[name="InlineAddFIELDNAME"] {width: 30px !important;}
</style>

For Inline Edit:

<style>
input[name="InlineEditFIELDNAME"] {width: 20px !important;}
input[name="InlineEditFIELDNAME"] {width: 30px !important;}
</style>

Replace FIELDNAME with your field name.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi,

 

Just adding a bit of modification to @kristina's answer.

 

With the advent of AJAX-enabled DataPages (Caspio r14), this CSS rule might not work if that feature is enabled due to the appended id  text on the elements.

In that case, you may use the updated snippet below then modify it after paste:

<style>
  input[id*="InlineAddFIELDNAME"] {width: 20px !important;}
  input[id*="InlineAddFIELDNAME"] {width: 30px !important;}
</style>

 

An easier but more sophisticated solution is to just paste this code in the FOOTER of your Results Page, then modify the field_name and target_size.

<script>

var field_name = 'created_on'; // <--Put your field name inside the quotes
var target_size = '8'; // <--Put your target size inside the quotes

  
/*Modifications are NOT necessary from this point below*/
var date_field = document.querySelector(`[action*="[@cbAppKey]"] [id*=InlineAdd${field_name}] `);
date_field.size = target_size;


</script>
