Sorry i am not the best web designer in the world. I have put together a website for my uncle www.valentinecuisine.com/GDS There is a small log in area (js i cant get to grips with php yet new to me) in firefox the two boxes are fine but in i.e they dont line up. If you type in the wrong username and password into the boxes you get an error message at the top. When you scroll down to the bottom to view the boxes again, the boxes are now in line!

How can i get these boxes in line without having text at the top and keeping the layout exactly the same i.e. no space at the top.

Thanks A lot

The solution to your problem remeains in the input forms. you must put in a size attribute for IE...

so find this code in your document:

<tr>
	<td class="style16">Username: </td>
	<td><input name="user" type="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="style16">Password: </td>
	<td><input name="pass" type="password" /></td>
</tr>

and replace it with the following:

<tr>
	<td class="style16">Username: </td>
	<td><input name="user" type="text" size="20" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="style16">Password: </td>
	<td><input name="pass" type="password" size="20" /></td>
</tr>

hope this helps.

Thanks I have already tried that though. I have tried it again and copied yours and still they arn't level the link is the same

Well, I never use size attribute because it's completely different in all the browsers. I use only rows and cols in textarea, but only to have page XHTML valid because they don't work exactly either.

I don't know if you have the seperate style sheet in your page (main.css doen't work), but have you tried to use width attribute?

I've just checked it and it seems that this works fine in FF & IE:

<tr>
	<td class="style16">Username: </td>
	<td><input name="user" type="text" style="width: 160px;" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="style16">Password: </td>
	<td><input name="pass" type="password" style="width: 160px;" /></td>
</tr>

BTW the code of the page is horrible

Thanks main.css didnt upload i dont know why. It works now thankyou so much! Yes i am still a n00b to the world of webdesign. I have only ever produced two proper sites. This is the first site i have used tables on and i used dreamweaver to help me with that. It isnt the best of things as I had to put in extra tags. Sorry about it not being good code but at the end of the day I can only improve and the website meets the spec sheet perfefctly!

Thanks a lot.
