arrangement and sizeproblem

Hello,
i am a chrononewbie and have a question:

Because i want some formfields in a line and not among each other- is there a way to arrange them already in the formwizzard? - i insert a table, but the width commando does not work, i can not define the width of the table or the cells, the table is always dynamic and take whole place with all cells same width, but i need some small cells, f.e for 3 birthday-dropdownboxes day month year.
Is there a way to arrange formboxes parallel or make tablecommands work?

Hi firstrincewind,

how and where do you insert your table ? can you show me a screenshot ?

cheers
Max

Hi firstrincewind,

You need to make sure that each row <tr>. . .</tr> in your table has the same number of cells in it <td>. . .</td><td> . . .</td> Without this the browser has to guess what you intended . . .

See here for a simple tutorial on html table tags.

Bob

Just have changed it to 4 cells/row, nothing changed.
This nevertheless could not be the source of the problem, because i use 2 tables, 1 table in a single cell, so at least this parent table should be changeable in size.

Just insert for a test a second cell in the parent and put letters in in order to shrink the table in the first cell, but the only thing which happens is that the table growth, it seems the table with the form in it has a fixed dimension or the cells have:all cells have same size although the formstuff in it has different dimensions

Hi firstrincewind,

Now you need to set the <td> widths so that they are consistent. The second column is set to width='40', width='10% and width='15%' in different rows.
