Is there a way to set the width of a single line text variable in a catalog item? I have a reference variable whose icon is falling to the next row so i am hoping that by changing the width of the other fields on that row it will get everything on one line. Hope that makes sense.

Hi David,
For your text field, you can use an onLoad client script to set the width in pixels. Adjust the number as needed.
g_form.getControl('variable_name_of_text_field').style.width = '200px'; //Set the width of a field

That worked great but now the label or "question" is still too big. I will keep looking for a way to set that attribute. Thanks again.

Thanks this link has opened up a whole new world of options!!
It does look like my problem has to do with the fact my single line text is in a two column container and is inheriting the size from the container. This has all been very helpful, thanks.
*** it's a little wonky but i fixed this issue by setting the size of one of my multi-line text boxes and so it was inherited.
