I am putting together a multi-field section editor and I want separate fields for phone area code, prefix, and number. However, in the input for my customer to add new items I would like for the screen to look like this:

(xxx) xxx-xxxx except, where the x's are I want the empty field for entry. So I want it to be lined up horizontally in one row instead of vertically.

I have the fields created, and I'm getting the characters before and after the field, I just don't know how to make it display it horizontally.

Thank you.

Hi FurCat,

A great idea, but I don't think that this is possible "out of the box" (hope someone can prove me wrong), but I'm sure that the programmers at Interactive Tools would be glad to tackle the issue.

Many of us would like to have a way to line up fields horizontally in the editor.

Maybe you'll start them on the path.

Sorry I don't have a better idea,

Thank you for the information. It was not something that I absolutely have to have, it was more cosmetics than anything.
