I need to get this done, but can't get things to line up right in IE6. I had it all perfect in Firefox, but the person i'm doing it for wants it to look good in IE6 and I am having a hell of a time getting it to work.

Would really appreciate any help.

To tell you the truth, it isn't working in Firefox either.

it was working in firefox until i started messing with it to get it to work in IE6. All they want is it to work in IE6, so thats all i figure i'll give them.

If they asked me to "make it only work in IE6", I wouldn't even know how to do it. I'm so used to working with FF to develop a template, that it would be a big drag to make it only for IE6.

The easiest way is to replace:

Code:

Name: <input name="test"></input>
<br />
Password: <input name="testing"></input>

with

Code:

<div>Name: <input name="test"></input></div>
<div>Password: <input name="testing"></input></div>

You might need to adjust the margin and padding of the <div> tags but it's basically there.

Sometimes I doubt my own skills as a webprogrammer. When I see some people's code, it makes me think I missed latest developments. However, this is the first time ever I've seen <input></input>.

Isn't it rather <input /> ?

Perhaps you're confusing with this other type: <button></button>

Vicious is right...so the code that cazabam had should be:

<div>Name: <input name="test" /></div><div>Password: <input name="testing" /></div>

The <input></input> thing was copy/pasted from the HTML of the actual site - I just added <div> tags round it. They are the important bit, so I didn't bother "fixing" the other HTML.

It's perfectly allowable (although a little weird) to have the full tag, though. You can have <br></br> if you want, but I don't think anybody would

Yeah, according to the XML specifications, <input></input> is correct.
But I'm not so sure it's correct (X)HTML though. Anyway, it's besides the point

[cazabam]

<input></input> validates as correct XHTML1.0, but does not validate as correct HTML 4. This is because XHTML1 uses XML rules for tags, which does explicitly allow either <tag></tag> or <tag/>.
