Hi,
I am very much new to the APEX. My Question might sound stupid to you.
I am Trying to build a simple form for data entry using Oracle Application Express workspace.
Here I am not able to find anything to position my item in area I want.
(In attach image)I want to reduce the gap/distance between Name, Type and Location fields.
I tried changing grid layout property but when ever I change it either items get overlap or there is big gap.
Is there any way by which I can narrow the gap between two items?
Thanks,
Ashish

Thank you; I've connected to your workspace and tried various options:- set in HTML Form Element Attributes for each item
- modified Grid Layout ("column" set to 1-4-7 for these 3 items respectively, "column span" set to 2 or 3 for these 3 items)
- set region's "Region Header" to
<style type="text/css">
.formlayout {border-collapse:collapse;}
.formlayout td {padding:0px;}
.formlayout td input {margin:0px;}
.formlayout td select {margin:0px;}
</style>
but none of these seem to be doing the job perfectly. Unfortunately, I don't know the easy way to do that. *Maybe*, if you created the whole layout manually, coding HTML statements, creating tables & cells with fixed width and stuff, adding input items etc. but I'm not sure that it is worth the pain.
As you said, layout changes when you resize browser so ... sorry, I'm not being helpful.
P.S. Forgot to say: here are the search results for "horizontal distance between items" in OTN Apex forum. Review these (or perform your own search), maybe you'll find the answer. Also, if you don't have the OTN account, register (it is free) and ask the same question over there. That is - as far as I know - the largest Apex community on the internet, where some VERY experienced and smart people help other people.
Best of luck!

No need to feel sorry Littlefoot.I appreciate your help.
I have few more questions about this.
1) Do I need to have knowledge about HTML before I start learning APEX.
2) Is there big difference between Oracle APEX Workspace and actual Oracle Application Express (tool). Because designing GUI is very basic issue I thought there will be simple solution.
and lastly can you prove me any good video tutorial for self learning APEX.
Thanks,
Ashish
