Primo VE/Resource Sharing (ILL) Form: Citation type radio button options spacing
On my Primo VE Resource Sharing (Interlibrary Loan) request form, my patrons have mistakenly selectied the radio button associated with the Book format when they actually want to select the button for Articles. I think the problem is due to the spacing. The radio button associated with each choice is closer to the next choice. As a user, I would be easily confused by that. Would it be possible to adjust the code for the request form so that the radio buttons are closer to their options and maybe even further away from the next option?
We are able to adjust the custom1.css file in your Customization package to better space out the radio button and related text:
Out of the box:
Resource Sharing Form with out-of-the-box spacing between Citation Types
Add the following line to custom1.css:
- /* Description: Added lines below to expand spacing of radio buttons/labels on Resource Sharing Forms */
- primo-explore:not(.__xs) .wide-form prm-form-field md-input-container md-radio-button { padding-right: 75px;
- }
- md-radio-group.layout-row md-radio-button { margin: 0 75px 0 0;
- }
With updated CSS:
Resource Sharing Form with customized spacing between Citation Types
