Multiple column input page

Bruce A. Julseth

I'm "Failing" a trying to create a multicolum text input page. I have found
many examples of two column pages where the first column is the field label
and the second column is input text box. But, I can't find something like:

-label- -Text input- -label- -text input-

Additional rows might have up to 4 or 5 label/text combinations.

Is this the place that I give up trying to format with CSS and use tables?

BTW: I am a "newbie" with respect to CSS.

Thanks for the help..

This works for a single line but now how do I force the next group of input
fields to start in the left edge.

Thanks again for your help.

My form is "Almost" complete. My current problem is trying to move the label
for the 2nd input field to the right.

Label1 Input1 Label2 Input2

I want to put more space between "Input1" and "Label2".

Everything I've tried has "messed up" the form..

Thanks...

I think I have found it..

label.label2 {

position: relative;
left: 1em;
}

input.input2 {
position: relative;
left: 2em;
}

Look right?

Thanks..

What have you tried...a URL please.

Also, rather than code-monkey your way through the process, at least
review the basics of CSS at www.htmldog.com It might save you a lot of
trial and error work...
