    Apologies, fairly new to MODx and while I’ve been able to learn loads in the last week I’m stuck on probably something very simple.

    I’ve taken part of the default snippet ’ContactForm’ to use as a email form to pass requests to join a manually managed mailing list. All works fine, I’m just having problems fitting into a side-bar section. You can see what I am on about here;

    I’ve tried all the obvious things like the value in the html part of the snippet and tried to find what controls it in the CSS, but have had no luck. Anyone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks, David

      It’s this:

      form label,
form p {
	display: block;
	clear: both;
	width: 310px;
	font-size: 1em;
	line-height: 1.5em;
	padding: 0 0 9px;
}
