Eh.....
I'm doing a simple project for a friend of mine updating his website. The original designer created a login page for his customers but never implemented it. The db and everything is there they just never put the form in.
Well apparently the website is built using a shit load of gay overlays with images. He wants to use the "member login" box thats already there, which is just a image that says "member login" at the top, no form.
Is there a better way to put a form over this image then to use floats? I mean i can create the username and password box and use the css to position them over the image where i want, but god that is so half assed. Floating isnt even designed for form elements and its a cross-browser nightmare....

Try doing absolute positioning. IIRC there might be some cross browser issues with it but I don't think it was anything too difficult.
-
That may work since the site is fixed width...
let me toy with that see how it looks.

I whipped this up quick, and it wont even display, which i find odd. Even moving around position it never shows up. Yet in another test file i just made, it came right up. It's done the same as the other elements in the file as well.
<input type="text" id="Editbox1" style="position:absolute; left:571px; top:445px; width:110px; background-color:#FBFAF7; font-family:Arial; font-size:12px; z-index:4" size="11" name="Editbox1" maxlength="20">
<input type="text" id="Editbox2" style="position:absolute; left:569px; top:488px; width:110px; background-color:#FBFAF7; font-family:Arial New; font-size:12px; z-index:5" size="11" name="Editbox2" value="" maxlength="20">
And its not Dreamweaver, i tried it in notepad and coffeecup as well
