form formatting...:
Hi all.
I've been working on forms but I'm having trouble with some
formatting issues.
I have to incorporate some outside code for sweepstakes tracking
and I'm having a heck of a time getting the birthdate field and
the state pulldown to wrap so all is lined up.
Can someone take a quick peek and see where I messed up, or what
I'm missing?

I know that this is a CSS list but your layout might be better done
as a Table (with two columns). Your current layout is a single line
of data which relies on the Browser to wrap. As noted, different
browsers have different widths that that are using. Also the birth
date entry should be 3 drop down menus (it makes entry easier). As
an alternative to the use of tables, you can force wrapping by just
ending each entry with a <br />.
I would have loved to knock it out in a table, but the widgets
necessary by the third party are not set up for tables... at least I
don't believe that are.
Thanks,
Michael
When you talk about widgets I assume that you are using something to
generate the HTML code for the page. If each entry is being generated
individually, you might still be able to slip a <br /> before each
<label> which will give you the wrapping that I suggested as an
alternative to a table. If you are talking about server side
scripting to process the form (and you code the page by hand) the use
of tables will not affect what is being sent to the server. How is
the page being generated (since I assume that there is some type of
generation going on to slip a unique ID in for the hidden field)?
