Formatting Trouble - 6/20/2007 8:41:55
OK, firstly I was hoping not to have to do this, to show you code readers my abomination but I am truly stuck. I have a client almost standing over me for full site in about 2-3 days so purchased a TM template. Then much to my horror realised how little I know about CSS so my site is a combination of all the wrong things - yes a good example of how not to do things. Anyway, that aside, for now I have a real deadline and once done I promise to continue my CSS and HTML self education. <humble rant over>
Ive added a simple text box and submit form to my page but it seems the css file is managing the format and I cant alter it.
Here ''visually'' is what Im trying to achive (below the Newsletter line)

Here is what is actually happening when I add a real form.

I need to keep the column width as per the visual attempt above.
The char length doesnt even budge when I alter it, so Im guess the containing cell is governing the behaviour. Agggh if I had hair it would fall out right now.
Anyone any life saving advice (pleasant stuff only for now pls).

As usual thanks greatly for the help jaybee - and indeed faster than a speeding banana :-). Last question, this is controlling both the width of the text box and the submit and reset buttons. How might I add in some code to specify text box different width to submit button for example?

Personally, I set up another class for buttons. I use something like this:
.but{height:22px;width:120px;cursor:pointer;border:.1em solid #fff;margin:0;white-space:nowrap;color:#000;background:#ccc;}
and do my buttons like this:
<input type="submit" value="UPDATE" name="B1" class="but">
Hope that helps.
