My website layout lies within a table with two rows, one cell in the first row, three cells in the second row, and each cell has it's own table. Until now, it's worked fine, but I've tried adding a form to the center cell in the second row (the main screen), and now the third cell has been nudged out of alignment. I don't know anything about forms--I got the code for this one from one of those cute pre-fab pages--but I looked over the code as best I can, and I don't know what could be causing it. If I cut the form code, the page falls back into alignment. Help, please?

<br />
In other words, remove all the <blockquote> and </blockquote> and format your form in some other way - table cells, <p>, <br> whatever, but not with the awful blockquote.<br />
<br />
I would also ensure you surround your table witht the <form> </form> tags because at the moment it appears that the starting <form> is outside the beginning <table>, while the ending </form> appears before the </table>.<br />
<br />
Oh, and also as Peter said, make sure your textareas aren't wider than that particular table.<br />
<br />
That's just a quick glance, so try those and see what happens. <br />
