Firstly, I assume that you mean 'aligning correctly', not aligning to 
the right...


Your code contains this:

tr
td valign=top width=30% 
align=leftStrONGName:/StrONG/td
tdinput type=text name=Name size=30/td
/tr

Note that the td containing the input has no ' align=left ', as 
the td containing the text does. I think adding this will improve 
your layout.


BUT - your code has many errors. You should validate it before posting 
a request for help here, as many simple problems can be solved by 
validating your code: you can't, for instance, use StrONG with a 
XHTML Doctype. Must be lower case.


Your use of inline font tags, non-breaking spaces, and some would say 
the table for layout at all, goes against the whole ethic of Web 
Standards. All your presentational instructions should be handled by 
css, either in the head of your file, or called from an external 
stylesheet.


With respect, it looks like you're a beginner, or at least a novice, 
with HTML. If this is the case, I suggest you use a HTML4 Doctype (or 
no doctype at all), and leave XHTML until you know a bit more about 
what you're doing...

You have to give your table a width (ie 500px or whatever), and make sure you 
align it left.

I notice you arent using css... generally tables are only used for results and 
data, have a look at using css to layout your pages :)

Re: [WSG] Triggering POSTs with links?

I want the text Send us a comment to look like a link, but trigger 
a POST, so I put the text in a submit button and styled it. 
Unfortunately the longer translations won't wrap that way.



Richard,

Another method is to create a transparent button image and place it 
on top of the text (i.e. in a layer between the text and the viewer), 
something like this:


form action=script.php method=post
div
pEnvoyez-nous un commentaire/p
input type=image src=transparent-button.png 
name=sendcomment /

/div
/form

/* make all three elements the same size  resizable */
div,
div p,
div input
{
font-size: 1em;
width: 10em;
height: 3em;
}
/* the div constrains the text  button */
div
{
position: relative;
}
/* superimpose the text  button within the div */
div p,
div input
{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
}

Warm regards,
