Editing the form

It depends on your theme if it has any basic table related styling included or not, most themes does some doesn’t.

Here is mine

table {
		overflow:hidden;
		border:1px solid #d3d3d3;
		background:#fefefe;
		width:70%;
		margin:5% auto 0;
		-moz-border-radius:5px; /* FF1+ */
		-webkit-border-radius:5px; /* Saf3-4 */
		border-radius:5px;
		-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
		-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
	}

	th, td {padding:18px 28px 18px; text-align:center; }

	th {padding-top:22px; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #fff; background:#e8eaeb;}

	td {border-top:1px solid #e0e0e0; border-right:1px solid #e0e0e0;}

	tr.odd-row td {background:#f6f6f6;}

	td.first, th.first {text-align:left}

	td.last {border-right:none;}

	/*
	Background gradients are completely unnecessary but a neat effect.
	*/

	td {
		background: -moz-linear-gradient(100% 25% 90deg, #fefefe, #f9f9f9);
		background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 25%, from(#f9f9f9), to(#fefefe));
	}

	tr.odd-row td {
		background: -moz-linear-gradient(100% 25% 90deg, #f6f6f6, #f1f1f1);
		background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 25%, from(#f1f1f1), to(#f6f6f6));
	}

	th {
		background: -moz-linear-gradient(100% 20% 90deg, #e8eaeb, #ededed);
		background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 20%, from(#ededed), to(#e8eaeb));
	}

	/*
	I know this is annoying, but we need additional styling so webkit will recognize rounded corners on background elements.
	Nice write up of this issue: https://www.onenaught.com/posts/266/css-inner-elements-breaking-border-radius

	And, since we've applied the background colors to td/th element because of IE, Gecko browsers also need it.
	*/

	tr:first-child th.first {
		-moz-border-radius-topleft:5px;
		-webkit-border-top-left-radius:5px; /* Saf3-4 */
	}

	tr:first-child th.last {
		-moz-border-radius-topright:5px;
		-webkit-border-top-right-radius:5px; /* Saf3-4 */
	}

	tr:last-child td.first {
		-moz-border-radius-bottomleft:5px;
		-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius:5px; /* Saf3-4 */
	}

	tr:last-child td.last {
		-moz-border-radius-bottomright:5px;
		-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius:5px; /* Saf3-4 */
	}

Add it to your style and it will look something like this

Good luck

Thanks Ibreezer,

This is great! My form is looking way better.

I dont suppose you know how to limit each column to a certain width too?

Consider wrapping the shortcode in a div (if your theme already has styling).

HTML/page/post:
<div style =”formshizzle”>[directory form=”1″]</div>

CSS:
.formy button, input, select, textarea {
width: 30%;
}

.formy label {
float: left;
width: 9em;
}

You can toy with the width (px, em or %), depending on where you’re using it.

Thanks that worked for styling the buttons but not the column width
