Hi Caty,

What's the benefit of enforcing the same width? I think I prefer the
width to depend on the size of the information displayed (for select
boxes) or expected to be entered (text input). For instance if I have a
text input for entering a small number I wouldn't like it to span the
entire page width. Same for a select box with options of small length
(e.g. Yes/No).
Thanks,

*Test*: You can test this "partial"/"full" width on your resolution
by
removing "half" class from "<form class='xform half""
definition.
*Considerations*:
- When voting please consider that the width will be set for small and high
resolutions (that until we will improve our skin to detect the resolutions
change).
- You should consider how form controls look (readability, usability) on
different sizes, like<select>, input, textarea, etc.
*Other Solutions*:
A. The problem is that on large resolution is hard to read the controls
because the form are too wide - on small resolution there is unused space. A
solution would be to use CSS media queries and adjust the width for smaller
resolutions.
B. Another solution would be to use the additional space given by the
partial width and provide some extra help for the sections, see
smaller resolution:

higher resolution:
