I have a geocities account and I’m trying put in some code(I will show it to you) and its not lining up properly. I need help lining it up
Here is the code
<p>
Property Type<br/>
<select name="type">
<option value="$airplane"/>Airplane</option>
<option value="$annuities"/>Annuities</option>
<option value="$auto"/>Auto</option>
<option value="$boat"/>Boat</option>
<option value="$inheritance"/>Inheritance</option>
<option value="$investments"/>Investments</option>
<option value="$lotteries"/>Lotteries</option>
<option value="$mobilehomes"/>Mobil Homes</option>
<option value="$realestate" selected="selected"/>Real estate</option>
<option value="$structured"/>Structured Settlements</option>
<option value="$verticals"/>Verticals</option>
<option value="$land"/>Land</option>
<option value="$other"/>Other</option>
</p>
</form>
<br/>
<form method="post" action="http://www.geocities.com/yourcertainfuture/Sellerscommentary.html">
<p>
<label>
Your comments <br />
<textarea name="advices"></textarea>
</label>
</p>
</form>
I know how to program I just need help from time to time. Like now.
this is the page. http://www.geocities.com/yourcertainfuture//Sellerscommentary.html
the Property type should be above the comment space.
Ok…You forgot to close the selection.
Put
</select>
after the last </option> in the first form.
I’d take out that <br/> between the forms. You’d probably get enough space there anyway.
Also, it looks like you are trying to put two different forms on one page. It is really hard to do that. This should probably be all one form.

you didn’t say how you wanted it to line up. left, center, right or what? whenever you are asking about a webpage or blog page ALWAYS leave a url to that page so we can look at your source code. sometimes we have to download and experiment with your page before we can figure out the problem.
also you messed up the following code
<option value="$other"/>Other</option>
the "/" after "$other" should not be there. </option> will close the tag. no need for the other one. using that could crash some browsers.
also don’t put anything inside <p></p> except text and images that are used to highlight that text. the code below will only have a line below it in internet explorer.
<p>
Property Type<br/>
<select name="type">
<option value="$airplane"/>Airplane</o…
<option value="$annuities"/>Annuities<…
<option value="$auto"/>Auto</option>
<option value="$boat"/>Boat</option>
<option value="$inheritance"/>Inherita…
<option value="$investments"/>Investme…
<option value="$lotteries"/>Lotteries<…
<option value="$mobilehomes"/>Mobil Homes</option>
<option value="$realestate" selected="selected"/>Real estate</option>
<option value="$structured"/>Structure… Settlements</option>
<option value="$verticals"/>Verticals<…
<option value="$land"/>Land</option>
<option value="$other"/>Other</option>
</p>
instead use style sheets to make margins above, below, left, right of an object such as the above code.

Ok, copy and paste the following code and it should work fine.
<p>
Property Type<br/>
<select name="type">
<option value="$airplane">Airplane</option>
<option value="$annuities">Annuities</option>
<option value="$auto">Auto</option>
<option value="$boat">Boat</option>
<option value="$inheritance">Inheritance</option>
<option value="$investments">Investments</option>
<option value="$lotteries">Lotteries</option>
<option value="$mobilehomes">Mobil Homes</option>
<option value="$realestate" selected="selected">Real estate</option>
<option value="$structured">Structured Settlements</option>
<option value="$verticals">Verticals</option>
<option value="$land">Land</option>
<option value="$other">Other</option>
</p>
</form>
What you were doing is not closing out the options.
eg. <option value="$airplane"/>Airplane</o…
No biggie. The only one i’m caught on is your structured one. In my code that i’ve pasted here, i’ve made structured and settlements into one option, but you can figure out how to make them seperate, as you’ve done a nice job of separating them all anyways.
I hope this answers your question. If not, repost or e-mail me personally.

Can you please be a little more specific on what is not lining up? this looks like an incomplete listing.
Share some more.

I popped this into a table format …
take a look at the code and see if is what you want.

Yahoo! truncates long strings so thought this would be easiest way to show.
how are you submitting this to your script? or is it only design you working on now?
some browsers wil show the txt as a webpage, if not just right click and save as, then open with IE or in notepad to see the source
