myContactForm.com Form HTML , is where I made my form

I have sofar managed - using DW6, grabbed a feedback script from a free site and got that working

it is only vertical.... ie each entry on a new line, can it easily be made to fit across the page, maybe 2 or 3 columns (so it doesn't need to scroll down), or does it have to stay singular ?

I tried moving a couple, and then it didn't work

I'm a complete newbie at this with ..... NO programming skills,

- SO NO BIG WORDS -

..............
thanks.... Grunta

Without looking at the form, but seeing that you got it from that site, I think it probably has tables, so, sure, you can modify it. Since your using DW you could go into the "drag n drop" mode and just take your information out of each table cell and put them where you want them.

I know I'm being general, but it's kinda hard to explain. The good news is, it can be done. It just takes some re-arranging of things. The key is keeping everything together that you move.

the code I ended up with

pcoptimized....... thank you very much, from this I will be able to compare the 2 and not waste time on trying to work it out - and this will hopefully help me out with other needs as I go on

one of the biggest problems for me is the complete lack of knowledge in the terminology, of what I wish to do, so it's very hard to search here or in help areas of programs, for answers

a picture is indeed better than 1000 words

No problem Grunta. Glad to help. We've all been there before. The learning comes one day at a time and I'm still always asking questions. :-)
