had an extra % symbol in the CSS, removing that in case people do copy-paste
  • A simple way to deal with this is flex, wrap your 3 columns in a flex container:
  • ```
  • <div class="container">
  • <div class="formField"></div>
  • <div class="formField"></div>
  • <div class="formField"></div>
  • </div>
  • ```
  • Then set your CSS like so for your mobile:
  • ```
  • .container{
  • display: flex;
  • flex-direction: column;
  • }
  • .formField{
  • width: 100%;
  • }
  • ```
  • for your media query, you simply switch your CSS to something like this:
  • ```
  • .container{
  • flex-direction: row;
  • }
  • .formField{
  • width: 32%%;
  • }
  • ```

```
<div class="container">
