htat's because the delete button is in the wrong place in your code. if you put an HTML element between the <table> and </table> tags, but don't enclose it in at least <tr> and <td> tags (pretty loose about closing them, but of course you should always close your tags!) then the browser will display that element above the table - since it doesn't really know where you want it placed.
long story short, replace the last little section of your code with echo "<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" align=\"center\"><input type=\"submit\" name=\"delete\" value=\"delete\"></td>\n</tr>\n\n</form></table>"; ?> and PS. i don't know if you are doing it by mistake or intentionally, but you may have noticed that form elements cause a certain amount of space to be taken up because the browser decides to render them as a <br> or something for some reason. if you put the <form> and </form> elements BETWEEN a <tr> and a <td> or a <table> and a <tr> or something (i.e. not properly located in a <td></td> pair) then this formatting is not displayed for some reason - go figure. enjoy beau // -----Original Message----- // From: jas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Tuesday, 19 February 2002 7:13 PM // To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Subject: [PHP-DB] formating problem // // // I feel kinda dumb for posting this but here it is...
