There may be instance where form fields are required to be formatted side by side such as when developing a "First Name & Last Name" or "Currency Selector" and many more. This article will discuss on how to format form field side by side through a "Currency Selector" example.
Drag a select box and text field into the form

Configure select box accordingly by adding desired currency label and value.

Paste the following JQuery script into a custom HTML script inside the form. The script will set the initial value of the 'value' field to the selected option in the dropdown box upon page load and selection, thus allowing dynamic interaction.
Be sure to change the JQuery selector name to the respective Select Box and Text Field ID otherwise the script wouldn't work.

Next, apply CSS to both the Select Box and Text Field to have them positioned side by side.
