Left Aligned Text Boxes

[sandra45]

Hi, I want to have my text boxes left aligned on the same column position, e.g. text box A on row 1 column 20, text box B on row 2 column 20, text box C on row 3 column 20. How to do this? Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Sandra

Sandra,

Just put your text boxes inside the 20th

<td>

tag on each row.

Hope this helps,

Dan

Sorry, can you please be more specific on how to do this? Thanks.

I don't think I can be any more specific.

You said that you wanted text boxes aligned on the 20th column of each row. This made me think that you have a table, with rows, each with at least 20 cells, otherwise you wouldn't be able to use the 20th cell.

Thus, I'm suggesting putting your input boxes in that 20th column on each row.

Maybe you could post your code if you're still having problems?

I think she means "row 1 column 20" as being a particular place on a character-mapped screen, rather than a particular cell in a table.

Sandra, the easiest way to do it (in my opinion) is to use a table:
[tt]
<form>
<table border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;2&quot;>
<tr>
<td>Label 1:</td>
<td><input name=&quot;field1&quot;></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Label 2:</td>
<td><input name=&quot;field2&quot;></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Long Label 3:</td>
<td><input name=&quot;field3&quot;></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
[/tt]
