Would someone know where the css script would go to accomplish this? https://community.quickbase.com/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=0ef86d78-0e52-4df9-a8c3-75d35a7add...
Danaya, Knowing Dan Diebold, this is very likely an onload technique solution. Quickbase has made it clear that they are going to give their best effort to eliminate the ability to inject javascript into the page, so I would not recommend using it because you won't be able to work with it for long. I have gotten something similar to this in design, but the sections won't collapse.
Thank you so much for replying Justin! That's a bummer. I guess I better put on a heavy thinking cap on how to make our forms user friendly. It's quite long with so many sections and tabs. Not the best setup for day-to-day use.
But thanks again.

I like to leverage Tabs as much as possible, and have used what I call a "False Heading" to give the appearance of multiple sections on the same row (without collapse functionality). You can create a False Heading by using a Text element and leveraging some of Quickbase's CSS Classes:
Actually...you can totally do this without any script. Justin's option is great, but if you need to keep the collapsible headers you can do this:
The change I made on the form is actually pretty simple. Before the first Section Header, I inserted 2 element rows. 1st, I added a Section Header to act as a section break. Then, I added a Text Element and added <table> in the element, being sure to select HTML
In between the 2 sections, I added 2 additional Text Elements, making sure to put them on the same row. The first is just a tag to close the first Table and the second is a tag to start a new Table ( </table> and <table>).
Finally, at the end of the 2nd section, I added another Text Element to close out the 2nd table (</table>).
A word of caution, though. If you accidentally select the wrong checkbox or enter the wrong tags (or forget some) the HTML on the page can get CRAZY. Thankfully, it's typically easy to fix.

Yeah, it can have some weird side effects. I typically try to make sure there's a blank section header after this to eliminate any possibility.
