Question

Checkboxes on Forms 2.0 with text block underneath

I am having the hardest time getting my form to look the way I want.

First, why are there only Left and Above options for where you want the label position to go? I want my fields to the RIGHT of my checkbox options (not every single field). 

Second, I want to insert a text box under each subscription checkbox with a description.  I am no CSS wizard so I'm not sure what kind of magic I can insert to make this happen.  Anyone have some code i can copy/paste?

Third, I want to vent my frustration with Marketo links that don't work anymore. "An Error Occurred Processing Your Request" page is the bane of my Marketo Community existence.

Hi Michelle,

1) Custom CSS

2) Just use Rich Text?


3) Yes it's a problem with some links, but when you report it I think they get fixed.

Best regards

Thanks Steffen - I don't know what kind of custom CSS to use to get the checkbox to show on the left.. thus my whole dilemma. Do you know what code I can use?

Hi Michelle,
what should it look like?
Because I just had a look and this version is also possible using "Checkboxes", there is a field "Buttons on the left" or anything like that:

Yes I tried that already. It doesn't do anything. I also don't know why there are two options for "Checkbox" and "Checkboxes" with no real difference other than "Label to the right" (which doesn't do anything).
Ideally I'd like it to look like this:

Hi Michelle,
Checkbox: 1 Checkbox
Checkboxes: Multiple Checkboxes

Maybe other users have an idea or code to implement what you want there.

Best regards

Hi Michelle,

We have the following code on our landing page template:

label[for=fieldname] { 
	float:right!important;
	margin-left: 10px!important;
	width:316px!important;	
}

Where fieldname is the Marketo field name (you can get this from field management). This results in the checkbox moving to the left, and the label being on the right.

Thanks Dory - are you using this code on the custom CSS in Forms 2.0? I tried using it like that but didn't do anything to the form..

Was there any resolution to your question? I tried the CSS @Dory Viscogliosi​ provided and wasn't able to see a difference. I'd love it if there was an easy way to do this!

Were you able to find a quick fix for this? Having the same issue, would like to have check boxes on the left side as well. Also noticed the check box inputs do not display correctly on mobile devices - looks like a blank input, which you can't do anything to.

I don't see this at all.  Did you try to restyle the form somehow?  Have a screenshot?
