Split a form into two columns.

[Fourize]

I have a small feeling this is either going to be a complete no go area and I should give up now, or someones going to show me a one step solution and prove how inferior I am…

So here’s my question, I’m using a wordpress plugin called User Submitted Posts http://perishablepress.com/user-submitted-posts/ as shown on Mr. Coyiers http://digwp.com/

What im trying to achieve is splitting the form into two columns so it doesn’t use as much height.

Is this possible? I’m not the biggest php buff, I could sit for hours and fiddle with the code until I find something that works to a degree but self-implodes when touched by an actual user.

Thanks all in advance for any help offered!

I believe you’d have to go into the plugin code itself and make those changes. Backup the plugin files before making any changes first. That way if something goes wrong you can always revert back to the clean version.

Forgot to mention that just be aware that your changes will be blown away if the plugin gets updated later on.

Not sure about this, but could you use Firebug to determine what code is being output, and then use javascript to dynamically append the div tags where you need them (you could then use css to get the two-column layout)? That would at least (probably? hopefully?) avoid the issue of the plugin update killing your changes.

Glad you were able to get it sorted! :)
