comment box
-
The problem is due to the high width defined in CSS.
Add the following to your custom css
#respond input { width: 50%; } #respond textarea { width: 50%; }Modify the width to your preferred values.
Oh Jesin. thank you very much. that worked. I am still having problems with the HTML tags and attributes at the bottom tho. I would be extremely grateful if you can advise on how i can resolve that too.
respect

I’d didn’t notice that earlier, use this code
#respond .form-allowed-tags code { white-space: normal; }Hmm. that did not work as well. Please take a look.
That does work Sam, it wraps the overflowing text which wasn’t visible earlier.
In case you want to control the width use the following code
#respond .form-allowed-tags { width: 50%; }Oh ok. this is what i eventually got. still far better than what i had before. I thank u very very much.
If you have a particular design in mind for the displayed tags let me know.
i would have preferred the code to span the same width as the comment box on a background similar to the code background u are using to send me the css codes.
Are you a designer? are you available for work at all?
thanks
Sam
In that case remove the previous CSS code I posted
#respond .form-allowed-tags { width: 50%; }and use this code
#respond .form-allowed-tags code { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F3F3F7; border: 1px solid #DEDEE3; color: #000000; display: block; white-space: normal; width: 50%; }I’m not a designer by profession, I’m a network/sys admin. I like doing Web design/development too and have designed my own theme for my blog.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. Is it ok to contact you through your blog. I will send you an email to discuss doing some work for us if you are available. BUT for this i thank you very much. Cheers Matey.
You’re most welcome Matey.
Yes you can contact me through my blog.
And if your problem is solved please mark this thread as resolved.
Done

Hi
i was wondering if someone could tell me what code i need to sort out the comment box below. At the moment it is over-spilling into the sidebar. I have tried using custom css to no avail. I would rather prefer to hack the file itself. Please see ink below.
