    Form problem

    So below is a segment of code produced by my script.

    I totally removed the CSS link, etc, so it would JUST be what's here. The
    edit field seems to come with some extra padding, so I would have to make it
    size 10 to get it to not push the second column too much, but even then I
    can see it does affect it.

    If I remove the text input fields and replace it with just garbage text, the
    table comes out all nice and even.

    Am guessing there some attribute about TEXT INPUT fields I don't know about?

    Thanks ahead....as always.


    <table border="1" width="500" bordercolor="#f f6600" cellpadding="5" >
    <tr>
    <td WIDTH="250" ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="MIDDLE" >
    Email
    </td>
    <td WIDTH="250" ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="MIDDLE" >
    <input type="hidden" name="stage" value='1'>

    <input type="text" name="email" value="" maxlength="64" size="30">
    </td>
    </tr>

      "So"? It suggests that you are continuing some discussion. And where is the
      _full_ code? That is, why don't you post a URL? Throwing fragments at us is
      not constructive.
      I totally removed the CSS link, etc, so it would JUST be what's here.
      What are you talking about? Referring to some undisclosed course of events?
      The edit field seems to come with some extra padding,
      What extra padding? Extra as in addition to what?

      And I don't think it's padding in the edit field. It's just the padding in
      the _cell_, simply because the field happens to be narrower than the cell.
      Try setting font size to 64pt and you'll see something quite different.

      Sounds like you have encountered yet another oddity in some unnamed
      browser's rendering algorithm. Why don't you just avoid the mess=
      <table border="1" width="500" bordercolor="#f f6600" cellpadding="5" >
      Why do you set width in pixels? What happens when the user sets font size
      to, say, 64 points?
      <tr>
      <td WIDTH="250" ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="MIDDLE" >
      Email
      </td>
      <td WIDTH="250" ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="MIDDLE" >
      <input type="hidden" name="stage" value='1'>
      >
      <input type="text" name="email" value="" maxlength="64" size="30">
      </td>
      </tr>
      Why don't you simply use a table without any width settings?

      Or just a <fieldset>, instead of a <table>?

          I'll tell you what Jukka...cause I've seen your posts before: I would
          rather not solve this problem than have to read your posts. I mean that
          seriously. You don't like that I don't post my email, maybe other people
          don't either. You don't like that I don't put up links, again am sure
          others don't either.

          Yet the others aren't giving me grief. Maybe they're the ones answering my
          posts, just without the attitude. Or they jsut ignore me. But someone
          always suggests something...wit hout me having to read the snappy comebacks
          or the likes.

          So please...when you see my name, just don't read the post. Assume I've put
          in there everything you dislike (or omited all you want).

          Or just put me on your "drop" list...seriousl y.

              So far, after more than 12 hours, they haven't given you anything.
              Maybe they're the ones answering my
              posts, just without the attitude. Or they jsut ignore me.
              Could be.
              But someone
              always suggests something...
              Why don't you give us a URL.

              without me having to read the snappy comebacks
              or the likes.
              Oh, I'm sorry.

              (couldn't help myself)

                  While not here, you can look for my other posts....and serioiusly, you must
                  have something else to do other than to waste your time writing a post that
                  serves no purpose. And everyone else's time having to read it when it
                  contained nothing.

                  Isn't that what the newsgroups are for? For "everyone" who needs a little
                  hand to find it? Not to go back and forth for nothing?

                  Those that make the really bad posts, or just post "do my hoework for me
                  please" posts, eventually go away.

                  Thiss is a waste, now someone else I have to ignore.

                  I wonder if this is why "forums" are becoming a better place for questions.

                      I'm being serious now:

                      I can understand that you don't like the first two of Jukka's remarks
                      although I don't think they're as bad as you seem to think.

                      But for the rest he really made good points.
                      He mostly does.



                      As for my own post: I really had nothing better to do,
                      just unwinding a little bit.

                          Understood, happens to everyone, myself included. In the end I actually
                          took his comment and removed the fix width variable. Which brings other
                          formatting problems....but I needed to move on.
