The goal of perlQ was to allow you to design your survey to look any way you wish. To do this, we have offered a couple of options on the way your answers can appear. You can also customize the Answer Input Style and Answer Text Style.

Text Input Style - In this field you may enter any CSS style definition that you wish to have applied to all text field answer inputs (text fields and text areas). If you wanted all of your 'Other:' field text fields and all of your text area inputs to have a width of 300 pixels and no shading, you could set this to:

width=300px; border-left: 1px solid black; border-right: 1px solid black; border-top: 1px solid black; border-bottom: 1px solid black;

That would yield text fields throughout the survey that looked like:

The style definitions will be placed inside of the individual input fields for each answer input they apply to. You will also be able to override survey-wide defaults for Text Input Style within each question setup.
