form alignment without a TABLE

[rameshch45]

Hi, I read and was told that using a TABLE to perform content alignment is incorrect. If so, how do I arrange the fields and messages in my 'form' tag?

With CSS. .

yes, but is there an example of matrix style rows/columns based arrangement of messages and fields?

Just another short answer cause I'm going to bed. If you are just trying to duplicate a table then perhaps you need to rethink the layout of the form. Is the form laid out like a table because that's how tables lay things out or because you want it laid out that way?

The think about using tables for layout is that tables were never intended for that and were only done that way because it used to be the only reliable way to layout pages. That was then and CSS is now.
