I believe that this article gives you the divs layout setup and the CSS
styles in a basic form exactly as you might need:

I wouldn't hassle yourself with any other unique strategies.
Divs are solid performers and every modern browser essentially handles them
quite right.
You can try something like:

<div id="main_div" class="main">
<div id="f1" class="form1">form 1 elements</div><div id="f2"
class="form2">form 2 elements</div><div id="f3" class="form3">form 3
elements</div>
</div>

Using CSS you can make the position for main_div = absolute.
Then position it with left and top. And even hard code the width to say 360.
And then the internal divs can be relative or float, something like that.

Or just use this:
<div id="f1" class="form1">form 1 elements</div><div id="f2"
class="form2">form 2 elements</div><div id="f3" class="form3">form 3
elements</div>

And then use CSS to absolutely position all three. And set each width to say
120px.
And set the left and tops as 0,0 and 120,0 and 240,0.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] OT?: HTML question


Hi,

	this may be a bit off topic, because it is really related to HTML,
but I 
figured anyone doing PHP most likely knows HTML as well and often can't do 
without it. Well, here it goes.

I have a page that contains three navigation buttons. Each button is inside 
its own form together with a hidden input and each form calls the same 
script. The hidden input basically just passes on a value via post. The 
buttons each act submit buttons for the forms. Maybe the code shows this 
better, so I attached it below. I also added some non breaking spaces to 
make some room between the buttons.

My intention is to have all three buttons in one row, but they appear in 
three paragraphs sort of and that is not what I want. So, how do I get 
these buttons to be in the same row without using a table, which supposedly 
is a big no no for page layout. I looked around and sources recommend div 
tags, which I find to be excrutiatingly annoying to use. So, any ideas on 
how to get the result the easy way?


		Thanks in advance,

			David K.
