Currently in the process of constructing a registration form for our website, everything is going smoothly with one minor hiccup. The form consists of two columns where users enter their information. Initially, when designing elements for the first (left) column, they automatically aligned properly after creation, leading to the completion of all fields before moving on to the second (right) column. To prevent overflow issues, I had to relocate this column using relative positioning. Within the left column resides a dropdown box that reveals a textbox upon selecting a specific option. The dilemma arises when the visible textbox causes the entire right column to shift downwards. It's imperative for this column to remain static regardless of any adjustments made in the first column, without resorting to absolute positioning. Is there a way to achieve this? For further understanding, feel free to refer to this demonstration of the issue: jsfiddle.
In observance of stackoverflow guidelines requiring code alongside the inquiry, here is the jQuery script responsible for displaying and concealing the textbox:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#text1line").hide();
$("select[name='select1']").change(function() {
if ($(this).children("option:selected").attr("id") === "show")
{
$("#text1line").show();
}
else
{
$("#text1line").hide();
}
});
});
