Netscape positioning problems

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how do I position controls within
Netscape without using tables? Consider the following:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<style>
.myDiv { display:inline; width:100px; }
</style>
</HEAD>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td><div class="myDiv">T ext:</div>
<input size="40" type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Something else</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="myDiv">A nother Text:</div>
<input size="40" type="text">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Finish table</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</HTML>

My textBoxes are perfectly aligned in IE, but under
Netscape width attribute is just ingored.

Any help is much appreciated.

It might be better to ask this question in a Netscape specific newsgroup.

Quoted from design notes for "width" property in CSS:

Note in Netscape 4.0+:

This property does not work (properly) with inline elements, form
fields, images, and definition lists

You see that inline elements is not supported ,so you should probably use
the "table" solution.

To get netscape to recognise the width, apply css width to the textboxes
themselves, too. So if your textboxes were class="myDiv", they'd be 100px
wide.

I think what the origional poster wants is something like to place tabstops
after the "field labels".

I'm having trouble with positioning in Netscape 7.02. It looks the way I want it to in IE 6, Opera and iRider, but in Netscape and Mozilla, the MENU drops way too low. Also, in Netscape the background image (a logo at the top of the page) is getting covered up by the #main content. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to be able to specify the height by using a definite attribute (I thought height was...

I'm not sure if this is a style sheet issue or a Javascript issue. I'm trying to work out a new design for my software's control panel. The idea is that there are images on the left that you click and that as you do, DIVs with option links appear and disappear on the right. Because I want each of the DIVS to appear in the same place, I use Javascript to set their padding and their height to 0px when they are invisible. This is working...
