Tring to format - what can I use besides a table???

[milkyway]

Hello,

I am trying to make the following on an HTML page

FIRST NAME LAST NAME
ADDRESS CITY
STATE ZIPCODE

BUTTON(CONTINUE)
.......

I am using input fields to collect the data:

<INPUT type="text" name="Firstname" ....>

I tried to do the formatting with a table:
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>
<INPUT ... FIRST NAME>
</TD>
<TD>
<INPUT ... LAST NAME>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

<INPUT type="button" onclick="process_input('FormName')";...>

I tried place these input fields as part of a table but then nothing
seems to work.

If I do,
process_input(SubmitForm)
{
var f2 = document.form.[SubmitForm];
f2.method = "get";
f2.submit();
}

Then I get something like the object does not exist.

I can only get things to work if the values if <INPUT ...> is not
placed in a table.

How can I do the proper formatting without using a table to do it? ANY
type of pointers on this is most graciously appreciated!

Regards.

You should do :

<input type="button" onclick="process_input(this.form)";...>

process_input(SubmitForm)
{
SubmitForm.method = "get";
SubmitForm.submit();
}

Use the table - it's a perfectly legitimate use for one. They work
inside <form> quite happily.

Do you have a <form> element ? It's not going to be happy without
one.

Is there any reason for your use of JavaScript instead of a plain-HTML
submit button? You seem to be unnecessarily limiting the accessibility
of your form for non-scripting-enabled users.
