No line break?

JediDan · Mar 25, 2003

Hello,

I'm trying to make a small horizontal navigation bar for the top of a page. Justifed left there will be 4 links, and I want a select box justified on the right hand side.

I can't get this working without a line break showing up between the links and the select box?

What can I do? Any HTML or CSS solutions are welcome.

Thanks

if you're putting <form> tags around the select, that could create the line break. The best solution is to put all of the fields into a table. Get the Best Answers! faq333-2924

JediDan,

Here's a sample to show you a simple HTML way of doing this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN&quot;
     &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd&quot;>[/URL]

<html xmlns=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;[/URL] xml:lang=&quot;en&quot; lang=&quot;en&quot;>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;></meta>
    <title>Sample layout</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form name=&quot;ThisForm&quot;>
      <table border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;>
        <tr>
          <td align=&quot;left&quot;>link 1 * link 2 * link 3 * link 4</td><td align=&quot;right&quot;><select><option>link a</option><option>link b</option><option>link c</option><option>link d</option></select></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <hr />
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Thanks all for the help... it was actually the

Code:

<form>

tags that were causing the problem. I've placed the whole business between the tags now and it seems to work.

Thanks again.
