hi guys,
Im now using the actual form element with some extra classes to get the
positioning right. Defining the all around padding and margins worked for
ff. Ended up using the underscore hack for ie though, still a pixel or two
off but im going to live with it-just want to get this darn think finished.
regarding the html errors,
Im going to fix those, i didnt think that the dhtml drop down menu that i
ended up using would validate so ive been putting off running the validator
until i found another navigation method. Looks like theres no problem there
though-i will stick with it.
Also Patrick-
"Incidentally: why do you wrap the form elements in a span with class
Form? What's wrong with *actually* using a FORM element? Or did you plan
to have the go button submit via javascript (bad idea)?"
Im just trying to get the front end looking right before i pass it on to the
asp programmer so im not handling any of the forms functionality. It didnt
occur to me to use the actual form element.
thanks a million
