Many thanks, George. I probably wouldn't have arrived at my overall solution without your help as that solution is merely a tweaked version of your first example. I suspect that it's probably easier to wrap the entire table in a DIV - which is what I've done - as that will always work no matter whether the table is 'part of' a form. > ...and the reason it has changed somewhat is because your HTML code were > no good - not valid - so *HTML Tidy* cleaned it up a bit. > I advice frequent validity checks, or else positioning relative to a > table will be the least problem. Believe it or not, my HTML code passed the W3C validator! Later, when I checked, I found that the opening body tag was missing. So I've learned another lesson here - that the W3C validator isn't infallible! That said, let's not lose sight that this is work-in-progress. I'm trying to develop a user interface for a map and database driven application. That HTML was produced not directly but as the output of about 500 lines of PHP that has yet to be fully tested and debugged! Thanks again for your help. -- Geoff ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
