Did you zero out the top and bottom padding's for all the elements? I can't hear what I'm looking at.

This has to do with the padding for the Required settings. If you have a lot of required fields it pushes the form down a bit because although they are hidden it still needs room for them when a user tries to submit the form without filling in that option.

Hi, I'm having a similar problem with my form here: http://turntrim.com/ ("request callback form" in sidebar)

Can anyone help me reduce the padding above and below my form?

Cheers,

David

Changing this in the form default.css will take some of it out.:)
#docContainer {
background-color: #F6F6F6;
border: 1px solid #C1C1C1;
border-radius: 6px 6px 6px 6px;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.28);
color: #333333;
font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
margin: 0px auto;
padding: 40;
width: 600px;
}

Thanks Eric - but how do I access the default.css file for my form? Probably a stupid question, but I can't see where coffee cup stores this file.

Thanks again, David

Look through the files that it created when you exported the file or uploaded to S-Drive. :) Jo Ann
