Hey guys, I need help with a problem here. On this page
<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.rantingrage.com/cnew.html">www.rantingrage.com/cnew.html</a><!-- w --> I'm trying to put this form in the middle :
<form method="post" enctype="text/plain" action="mailto:[email protected]">
Name : <input type="text" name ="name" />
<p>
City : <input type="text" name="city" />
</p>
<p>
Birthdate : <input type="text" name="birthdate" />
</p>
<p>
Email : <input type ="text" name=email" />
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
The form works fine..I just can't position it in the middle of the content box of my layout that I did in photoshop. Is it even possible to do? And how do I do it...I have a css/xhtml begginner book. Thats where I got the form, but it doesn't talk about how to position it..Any takers?Here's a hint: Look up absolute/relative positioning. You have to create a <div> around the form and position it with CSS.ahh not a direct answer thats great..I just wanted direction in the book...btw I got the book you sugested a few days ago..I'll post again once I've figured it out
Your image looks very nice and all that, but before you go any further, please read the article in my sig - it's an eye-opener.That's a good book - glad you picked it up. Trust me - everything you need is in there... at least, to get started on the basics... then you can move on up. 
BTW - BonRouge's article is great - make sure you check that out as well...I'm reading the article now some of it is greek to me heh...only reason I have tables in my layout is because thats how photoshop did the html.. So thats just how I left it..so I'm open to learning css...I knew it was the way to go years ago..just never got into it...lazy I guess. haha..It's a common mistake - letting something like photoshop make a webpage for you. My advice - don't do it again. In fact, I'd go back to your original image and try to figure out a good way of using it with css.Sounds good...I'll start playing around css more I've got a begginer book..its just matter of figuring out what does what etc etc thanks..
