Notification Mail CSS

I'm trying to adjust the notification mail css - the table cells are really squashed together, you can see some of my labels are quite long and it's wrapping a little ridiculously. I've already tried adjusting the css, I got rid of the huge margins and made the whole thing wider, but it's still doing it. I'm still experimenting to try to get it to work (nowrap maybe? If anyone has any bright ideas, I'd love to hear them.)

But my main thing is that I've already made some code and other CSS changes, I'd rather just change this on the server rather than in the software, but I'm not sure where to find the code for the notification mail?

Play with this.
line-height: 30px
td {font-size: 12px !important; line-height: 30px;color: #666666 !important; margin: 0px;border-bottom: 1px solid #e9e9e9;}
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Where do I find it? I know where it is in the software, but where on my server when it's already uploaded?

Why not alter it in the app?;)

Because it's faster to do it in the code than it is to change it in the app and then have to save it and reupload everything.

Another way to get around this which i found a little easier then editing the CSS was to create the Auto-Response Message in ThunderBird.
Write a new email and add whatever you need and change the design however you like.
ie.

Dear [Name]
Thanks for contacting us...
[_form_results_]
Regards

Add html signature ect..

save the email as html
open the file with notepad and copy the code back into Auto-Response message field.

Probably not the best way to do it, but it worked well for a newbie like me.
Also the form_results table was not squashed anymore. :D

I do the same thing with the HTML editor formatting my email. Cindy seems pretty set on altering the files.:)

To be honest, I've kind of given up on this software, I've been fighting with it trying to incorporate multiple pages and it's just not working for me. Another $70 down the drain. I may be able to use it for another project at some point so hopefully it won't be a total loss.

Thanks for the help though.

Well right now that's about all it can't do right out of the box for the most part is multiple pages. Sure there's some other features that would be nice, but that is really the biggest one I've seen asked for that isn't there yet. If you're a web builder, then this form builder is the best you're going to find out there for the price. Can't see where it's going to be money down the drain at any angle really.

When you use the program as it's intended rather than trying to complicate it 50 times over by editing it all outside of the program then you may as well just make your own forms from scratch. The program can do almost everything you've wanted it to do right inside the program. And it's definitely not faster to alter most things in the code than it is in the program.

I do something similar to Eric, I just copy the text from the email setups on the program and paste it into my text editor or HTML Editor, alter it (where you have full visual capabilities to see what it will look like for the most part, keeping it to the old style css so emails will read it), then paste it back into the program. Much faster than trying to find all the files etc. AND the biggest thing here is you can keep editing the little things in the program then instead of being stuck "having" to edit it all outside of it now that you did edit things since the program won't see your changes made outside of it.

Anyways, there are lots of ways to do a lot of the things, and the forms it creates are very nice quality and function as they should. Most form builders out there don't even do that part correctly lol. Good luck whatever you end up doing :)
