CGI and Text Alignment

[samesale]

I am trying to align the two texts. However, the top text shows up on the left and bottom on the right. What is wrong? Please help. The rest of the program works.

print qq(<table bgcolor=seashell>
<tr><td><b> PLEASE FILL OUT ALL THE INFORMATION IN THE FORM. IF YOU LEAVE OUT ANY SPACE, THE INFORMATION WILL NOT BE PROCESSED, AND IT WILL IDENTIFY THE SPACE NOT COMPLETED AND WILL ASK YOU TO FILL OUT THE SPACE. PLEASE GO TO THE SPACE AND FILL IT IN AND THEN PRESS SUBMIT AGAIN.</b> </TD></TR>
<tr><td align="right" >City:</td><td> <input type=\"text\" name=\"City\" value=\"$city\" size=32></td></tr></table>);

<tr><td align="[red]right[/red]" >City:</td><td> <input type=\"text\" name=\"City\" value=\"$city\" size=32></td></tr></table>);


Kind Regards

I am not sure I understand the difference in your "right" and my "right". Please explain. Thanks.

I think Dunc was just pointing out that it should be

\"right\" as the inverted commas need to be escaped

Even I changed the "right" to include \\, it still does not work. There must be something in the statement that does not align the statement.

Please help. Thanks.

What exactly do you want to do

print  qq(<table bgcolor=seashell>
<tr><td [COLOR=red]colspan=2[/color]><b> PLEASE FILL OUT ALL THE INFORMATION IN THE FORM. IF YOU LEAVE OUT ANY SPACE, THE INFORMATION WILL NOT BE PROCESSED, AND IT WILL IDENTIFY THE SPACE NOT COMPLETED AND WILL ASK YOU TO FILL OUT THE SPACE. PLEASE GO TO THE SPACE AND FILL IT IN AND THEN PRESS SUBMIT AGAIN.</b> </TD></TR>
<tr><td align=right>City:</td><td> <input type="text" name="City" value="$city" size=32></td></tr></table>);

Is this what you want
