I have a two column x eleven row table established on a page. The left
column contains the text titles for the textboxes, which populate the right
column. I cannot seem to easily get all of the text boxes to align to the
left side of each cell in the right hand column. If I do get them to finally
align, after saving and publishing, they are all over the place again. I
have checked all of the formating of the cells and the the text boxes and
they are all set up with IDENTICAL specs. Any ideas? Is their an alignment
tool in FP 2003, like in Visual FoxPro? Help!

Thanks for your kind consideration in responding to my request.

Make the left column have right alignment, e.g.,

<td align="right">your title</td>

I found out that the cells containing the misaligned fields have an EXTRA
LINE of code in them. If I remove the HTML DIV statement, everything works
fine:

<tr>
<td align="right" height="20">
<p align="left">
<em style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 700">
<font size="1">Address 2 :</font></em></p>
</td>
<td style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"
height="20">
<div style="padding-left: 4px; padding-right:
4px; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px">
<input name="Address_Line_2" value size="60"
maxlength="60" style="padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top:
1px; padding-bottom: 1px"></div>
</td>
</tr>

SOOOOooooo .... my new question is ----- What causes the addition of this
extra DIV statement in the misaligned cells?

Thanks again.

Misaligned in MI,

Brent

Murray:

That was the code generated by FP 2003 when the table and text boxes were
created in the Design view.

Thanks, Murray.

When I insert a table in FP2003 I don't get that markup. What else are you
doing that I am not?

Hi, Murray:

That's the $64,000 question. Beats me. Nothing that I know of. Simply
created a 2 x 11 table, made the left column narrower than the right, added
the text to the left column cells, and the text boxes to the right column
cells. Then, some of the fields were misaligned, and those were the ones
with the DIV's in them. I have manually deleted the DIV's and everything is
fine. Don't know that we'll ever know why the lines of code were ever there
in the first place.

Thanks again for your help and assistance.

Kindest regards,

Brent

You did by selecting the Style button
(just as you added styles for font weight and padding of the input field)
- FP does not add it unless you ask it to

Also you are trying to align cell content by clicking on the Paragraph formatting tool on the menu bar, so you end up with
<td align="right" height="20">
<p align="left">
<em style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 700"> <font size="1">Address 2 :</font></em>
</p>
</td>
Remove the P tag by selecting it in the Quick Tag Selector at the top of the page and use the dropdown menu to remove tag

PS
Applying a font style to a TD tag (container) is invalid as in your
<td style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial" height="20">
Remove the style from the TD tag and apply it to the cell content

That's perfectly valid markup, Stefan. Applying font styles to a container
tag is common.

What's problematic about that is the use of points rather than a pixel
oriented metric, but that's a different thread.

I suspect there are a few browsers (like NN4) that would choke on it (-;
- Applied as a class (for an external style sheet) I would agree
