Margins/Padding Around Outside of...

Hello, I am new to Web Form Builder. System and forms are working fine. I want to float a form within a pre-defined div on my HTML page so that the form lays in flush to edges of the div. However, WFB wants to put a margin or padding around the outside of the form, adding space around the form's sides. In the WFB settings I cannot find a padding or margin setting to alleviate this. In short, I want to set all padding and margins outside the form to zero. How is this done? Thank you. -- John C, Rockford, MI

Hi John,
One way is to select "Customize margins" on the "Form Options" tab.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thank you, Eric. But I had already done that; customized margins checked and all set to zero. No difference.

Here is a link to the page:

I did find the problem. This form uses the so-called "transparent" theme, and in the default.css file under #docContainer .column I found padding left and right padding set to 5%. Once I set them to 0px !important the form snapped into place as it should. I wonder why the developer chose not to make these padding settings available at the user interface?

My next suggestion was going to write and override after you share the form. You still have some issues with the inputs overlapping other elements at lower break points.
