 * Hi!
 * I’m using Contact Form 7 with the theme “Fullscreen” created by themify.me.
 * There is a problem with the text field width. I have made this code:
    Anzahl /
   quantity [text anzahl 1/2]</p> But the text field has the the same width as before.
   Has anyone an idea what to modify to get a smaller text field?

 * The overall size of the form elements is generally controlled by the CSS in your
   current WordPress theme rather than the “size” you use in the Form section of
   the CF7, which refers to the size of the standard HTML input text element which
   may or may not control overall element size.
 * Use [Firebug](https://getfirebug.com/) or [Chrome Dev Tools](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/)
   to first understand and then change the CSS used for your CF7 form elements.

 * simple use this
 * <table border=”1″>
    <tr> <td><p>Your Name (required) [text* your-name] </p></
   td> <td><p>Your last (required) [text* your-name] </p></td> <td><p>email (required)[
   text* your-name] </p></td> </tr> </table>

 * [@hassan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hassan/).Zia – Nowadays using HTML
   Tables to control form appearance is widely considered to be an ineffective, 
   outdated and inappropriate solution. Instead use Firebug to find suitable CSS
   changes.
