HTML HTML Forms Form Basics The Button Element

Trying to find issue with form element sizing for Surface Pro 2 screen.

This isn't directly related to the video, but it is relevant to learning responsive design.

The sign up form we use to practice in this set of "Form" videos will not fit on my screen neatly centered like it is on our instructor's screen. The form boxes and button stretch all the way across my screen. I've done a little googling, and changed a few things in the viewport tags, and nothing changed.

Do I need to edit the viewport meta tag or do I need to go into the media query in the CSS? Could it also be a browser default messing up the CSS? (I'm using Chrome on a Surface Pro 2.)

I'm really not even sure how to properly describe the issue to a search engine to find the answer on my own. Thank you for any help!

Hi Heidi Hlavinka! I would recommend adjusting the CSS or implementing the normalize.css stylesheet. Are you able to share the code (html & css) and we can do a review to assist further?

Thanks!
