Hi,
I'm trying to lay out a form of medium complexity using CSS only -- no
tables.
The idea is to split the form up into fieldsets and to have it so that
they're populated by <label>/<input type="text"> pairs, with the <label>
directly on top of the text box, and to have these pairs side-by-side
(horizontally), so that they can overflow onto the next line ad infinitum
(within the fieldset).
I've tried accomplishing this by enclosing each label/textbox pair in a div
and setting "float: left," which works well enough except that since
floating divs don't take up space in the normal flow, the fieldset collapses
and does not encompass its child from elements.
I would appreciate any ideas and also any resources for form design with CSS
in general
Thanks,
Ray
