Default Help! Everything is to the left of my page - 11-28-2007 , 06:59 AM






I have just inserted a form field to the left of my page. I now want to add
another form to the right of the form. when i insert the form is automactcally
places itself UNDER the first form. Can you tell me how to reposition the form
to the centre or right.
Ive noticed that whenever i insert a menu or pic I cant add any other items
next to it ..

Use a table with two columns?

By default in html elements get placed below one another unless you use
a construction method which allows you to sit them side by side.

For inexperienced users a table with columns is the easiest method.

This is only true for block elements. Inline elements, like images, words,
etc., go side by side just fine.

Its picky! In almost every page there will be a time when you will
require to place elements side by side (especially text).

Replies like yours, in this case, are are just anal. But then again you
do talk a lot of shit sometimes, so maybe it apt.

And in most cases about as useful as a bucket of frogs. I don't see many
websites, apart from the ones you design maybe, that would ever use this
'accurate' approach.

You mean images arrayed horizontally on the same line?

I mean although technically correct your response to the general
question was about as useful as meaningless to the original poster, who
most likely, if they don't know how to place two elements side by side
they won't understand inline or block level elements.

Sometimes you just need to look beyond the small (but technically
correct box you sometime live in) and give answers that are
understandable by the majority of users in this forum, which for the
most part is very basic.

Go to Sitepoint if you want to really get nit-picky and become a small
fish in a big pond.
