form positioning issue
« on: October 06, 2007, 12:28:04 PM »
forms are fairly new to me because i havent used them in years, and when i did i either made them in FP (i know....) or i was just modifying existing forms. Right now the below code works great, but it shows the form like this (using the name field as ex):

First and
      Last   Form Field
     Name

I'm going for something like

First and Last Name:  Form Field


I cant seem to find where i screwed up. i know it must be obvious, and that im a e-tard, but i cant find it.

i dont think its a problem with your form. its your <table> that you've stuffed into a 523px width <div>.   The table cell is word wrapping the text.
