I've made up a form like below. I need to set smaller the text boxes size and append different static text to the end of each text box. Meantimes, They're all in one line for "First Name" for example when previewed in mobile mode.
Thee label, textbox and static text should appear in one line in mobile mode.
E.g. in mobile mode, they shuld display like below.
First Name: David XXX
Last Name: White YYY
Note: XXX is static text for First Name, YYY is static text for Last Name

You can resize these text boxes using the mouse also. I think the min width using that method is 60px.
For JS, you can use something like:
ib = this.getQuestionContainer().querySelectorAll("input");

ib.forEach(item => item.style.width = "30px");

Thank you for the suggestions. Since I need to append different static text after each text box and set various size for the elements as requested by the end user. How can I do it?

ib = this.getQuestionContainer().querySelectorAll("input");
This line gives you all the input boxes in your question.
You can then references each of the boxes using the index. So, 

ib[0]
refers to the first box, 
ib[1]
to the second box and so on.
You can set the width of each box using 
ib[?].style.width = "??px"

Thank you for the scripts. It's good in display mode. However, ib[0].style.width = "30px", for example does not reflect its change on mobile mode.
Besides, I want to add static text after the textbox. I tried the following but both 30% and "CatA" do not relfect the change.
jQuery("#ib[0]").css("max-width","30%").after(" CatA");
Further advice is welcome.
