how do i align my form? i'm lost

[dv6cougar]

so i have tried everything I can think of to get this to align.

http://www.teaccessories.com/pick.php

that's where it's not aligning..... (this is beta, nothing is really for sale 🙂 )

but the search field you see at the top there, isn't working right.

i want it to be in the orange and i have tried to do it many ways. I first had the orange as a second part of the table, now i made the image have the orange in it and put it as the background as you will see below.

 <table border="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="770" id="AutoNumber1">
      <tr>
        <td width="770" height="165" background="includes/images/Untitled-1.jpg" valign="bottom" align="right"> 
          <form method="post" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>" valign="bottom">
            <input type="text" name="search" value="Audio" valign="bottom" size="12" class="search">
            <input src="includes/images/search.gif" type="image" value="Search" name="image" valign="bottom">
          </form></td>

  </tr>
  </table>

what am I doing wrong? 🙁

thanks....

You need some css. Put this css between the head tags of your page. You already have the class names so it shouls work.

<style type=text/css>
.search {

font-family: Helvetica, Verdana;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FF9900;

}
</style>

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="770" id="AutoNumber1">
<tr>
<td width="770" height="165" background="includes/images/Untitled-1.jpg" valign="bottom" align="right">
<form method="post" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>" valign="bottom">
<input type="text" name="search" value="Audio" valign="bottom" size="12" class="search">
<input src="includes/images/search.gif" type="image" value="Search" name="image" valign="bottom">
</form></td>

</tr>
</table>

This should put the bg color of the search box orange and the letters black. You an play around with the colors as you wish.

thanks Stan.

i do have the css in place, just not shown in here.

i figured out my own problem, but i forgot to come back and tell everyone.

<table><form action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>"><tr>

that's how i got it to align correctly.

looks good now, thanks alot .
