Input Field Width???

[OmarC]

On my create account page where the customer enters all their information, I would like to make these boxes wider by about 50%.

I can't seem to figure out how to do this. How does one increase the width of these input textfields?

Thanks for any help!

I haven't figured this out yet, but here's what I've found....

catalog/templates/aabox/content/create_account.php

there is the code saying

              <tr>
                <td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_FIRST_NAME; ?></td>
                <td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('firstname') . ' ' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
              </tr>

From what I can gather, this is the code to create the first name row of the person on the create account page. the statement 'tep_draw_input_field('firstname')' seems to be the code that creates the input field box and the variable 'firstname' appears to be an object that is passed to the function 'tep_draw_input_field' .

I haven't figured it out yet, but it looks like you need to modify the length of the variable (most likely some sort of 'string') to be longer and it will in turn make the input field longer.

I have not read any books on PHP so I'm sorry if I can't be of more help, this is just how much I could figure out by looking at the code. Hopefully someone more knowledgable than I in PHP can help you out.

Good luck,

Greg

sorry to say greg dat u r mistaken. the variable's lenght is already quite long. enlarging the text field is simple an html issue. unfortunately i dont know/like html.

Works like a charm!
--------------------------------------
If all you are trying to do is change the width of the input fields, find this code in includes/functions/html_output.php

// Output a form input field
 function tep_draw_input_field($name, $value = '', $parameters = '', $type = 'text', $reinsert_value = true) {

The next line is

$field = '<input type="' . tep_output_string($type) . '" name="' . tep_output_string($name) . '"';

Change it to

$field = '<input type="' . tep_output_string($type) . '" name="' . tep_output_string($name) . '" size="XX"';

where XX is the desired width.
