algin text field and button

[finecur]

Hi,

Here is my html:

<table>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>Name <input type=text...><input type=button...></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>....</td>
<td>....</td>
</tr>
</table>

The width of the second row (and thus the width of the table) is
changing depending on its content. I want, however, in the first row,
"Name" is always left aligned. The button is always right aligned. And
the text filed fill all the space between them.

I can not figure out how to do it. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

ff

Here is my html:

Where's your URL?

<table>

Why?

<td colspan=2>

Why?

Name <input type=text...>

Why no <label>?

<input type=button...>

Why? To invoke known IE bugs?

This sounds like an interesting question, but it's really about styling
(CSS), not HTML.

Just create a simple and robust version first. Then ask in c.i.w.a.s., and
don't forget to mention the URL. Oh, and try to find a more descriptive
Subject line. You don't really want to align. You want to create a text
field with a width that adjusts to the available width, right?

Yes, how?

First try to find help with reading comprehension. Or just re-read what I
wrote, and get the point about the choice of the right group, among other
things.
