HTML - Form Alignment

OK I've tried to align my form, but just can't do it. The problem is with my submit button. In Firefox, it just does not want to align with the other fields. IE is fine. Any suggestions? I have tried valign on the td, vertical-align css, changing the height, etc...

G'day guys,

I'm having trouble getting my submit button aligned to the right edge of the textarea above it.

Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong, (still a bit raw when it comes to CSS).

Here's the link:

Here's my CSS code:

Code:

#frmwrap	{
border: 1px dashed #8DBA2C;
padding: 10px;
width: 350px;
}
form	{
font-family: Arial, Sans-serif;
}
input, textarea {
	border: 1px solid #gray;
	font-family: Arial, Sans-serif;
}
label {
	display: block;
	float: left;
	width: 100px;
}
form div {
	margin-top: 3px;
}
.button {
	background: #f1f1f1;
	border: 1px solid gray;
}

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Jamie

Ok, so I hope there is a simple answer to this. I just haven't been able to figure it out.

I have a basic form that has a dropdown menu. I am using an image as the submit button. The problem I am having is that the image does not align vertically properly next to the dropdown menu. Below is what my form looks like in the browser. Any ideas how to get this aligned correctly?

Thanks for all help!

I use two different browsers, IE7 (Version 7.0.5730.13CO) and Google Chrome (Version 12.0.742.142).

Even though a simple solution would be to not use any column coding at all, thereby putting them one above the other, this makes the page too long so I am trying to get them side by side.

The problem is that the page looks about perfect in IE but in Chrome the wording 'Please give more details' appears at the right-hand edge of the text area, unless you alter the page zoom in which case it appears above the radio functions.

I've tried tagging as a table but the situation is then reversed: looks great in Chrome but in IE the check boxes are almost perfectly displayed and the radio functions are squashed.

I'm not too familiar with tables or columns at this point. The table tags I hijacked from the Links page ( I was able to understand them enough to both remove and add new ldata to the table) on the site I'm helping develop and the column tags I gleaned from a html tutorial site.

Is this just as issue with the way that different browsers display html or am I missing something in the tags?

Thanks for looking and hope someone can help.

Hello, I just made my new site for my company and I tried to keep it extremely simple. I used wordpress to do the basic layout automatically and made some simple edits with some basic html i picked up along the way this week. There seems to be two problems though:


1) the form is inside a table which doesnt seem to align properly within any of the popular browsers (firefox/IE/chrome) .... it should look like 1 image instead of 3 separate pieces

2) i eventually got the form to align slightly better but the spot where I "Enter my zip code" doesnt align with the background image behind it.....sometimes it doesnt even say "enter zip code" which is very bad for a user experience. in firefox it doesnt say it, but in chrome it does say it....either way, both are aligned very poorly.....


I put my code into this site:
http://w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?...=tryhtml_intro

...and after editing it, i've come to find that it works perfectly within that html editor and looks exactly how i want it to look. but then when i put the code back into my wordpress site, the alignment messes up again......

so i did some research and found out that wordpress has "deprecated" some of the html tags and that they dont work anymore...if i understand correctly. so now i have to find a way to pick new tags or use CSS...this is just so confusing and i thought maybe somebody here might be able to offer me some assistance to help me fix up this form/table problem.

my site's url is:
http://www.allautoinsurance.org

my code that I'm editing is on the right sidebar, where the alignment messes up:

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Our free online service instantly browses the best rates in your zip code area at the click of a button.
