Hi, im kinda new to html and im having problems with aligning a text field on my page.<br />
<br />
I created a interface on photoshop and sliced it up for my html page. I started by inserting a header which includes a straight horizontal menu bar below. I sliced it up so the menu bar is a seperate image. On the same line as the menu bar I inserted a text field (for a search engine) thinking it would line up with my bar, but it doesnt, its positioned to low. I've tried align="top" but still no change.<br />
<br />
I would also like to know how to put the image of the menu bar behind the text or so that it runs as a complete bar across the page.<br />
<br />
Any help is much appreciated, Thanx<!--content-->Have you tried usiong the image in question as a background image, then inserting the text field? Don't know if that'll do it or not, but it might be wortha shot...<!--content-->helo again, <br />
<br />
I've enclosed a screenshot of my problem in hope that someone will be able to understand my jibberish. I would give the URL but I dont have any web space. Sorry:D <br />
<br />
I put it in the attach file option and dont know whether it will show up once i hit the submit button, but here goes..<br />
<br />
This is a project for uni, and it doesnt require the search engine to work. Its really just the positioning i'm having trouble with. Thanx again.<!--content-->Heres the code I used, if its any help<br />
