This is probably a html problem but is there a way I can align my textboxes? At present they are straight after their tittles and it looks messy

 

my code is

 

<?
include("connect.php");
// now you are connected and can query the database

if(!empty($_POST['ID'])){
$ID=$_POST['ID'];
$Fname=$_POST['Fname'];
$Sname=$_POST['Sname'];
$Station=$_POST['Station'];
$Address1=$_POST['Address1'];
$Address2=$_POST['Address2'];
$Address3=$_POST['Address3'];
$Address4=$_POST['Address4'];
$Division=$_POST['Division'];
$Vote=$_POST['Vote'];

$var=mysql_query("INSERT INTO Athy (ID,Station,Sname,Fname,Address1,Address2,Address3,Address4,Vote,Division) VALUES ('$ID','$Station','$Sname','$Fname','$Address1','$Address2','Athy','Co Kildare','$Vote','$Division')")or die("unable to insert data");

if($var == 1){

	echo "Success";

}else
{

	echo "failed";
}
}else{
?> 
<html>
<body>
<form name="test.php" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
  <p><img src="untitled.jpg" alt="" width="994" height="176" /></p>
  <p align="left">Id Number:
    <input type="text" name="ID" value="<?php echo $ID; ?>">

I recently found an excellent way to do this via CSS.  This is an example of how to do it

 


<style type="text/css">
label {
width:150px;
margin-right:5px;
text-align:right;
display:block;
float:left;
}
</style>
<body>

<form>
<label for="item1">
<input type="text" id="item1" name="item1">
<br>
<label for="item2">
<input type="text" id="item2" name="item2">
</form>
</body>

How do I apply it to my code?

 

Instead of e.g.

 

<p align="left">Id Number:
    <input type="text" name="ID" value="<?php echo $ID; ?>">
</p>

 

try

 

<label for="ID">Id Number:</label>
<input type="text" name="ID" id="ID" value="<?php echo $ID; ?>" />

 

and remember to put the CSS

 

<style type="text/css">
label {
width:150px;
margin-right:5px;
text-align:right;
display:block;
float:left;
}
</style>

 

inside a pair of head (HTML) tags. They come after the html opening tag and before the body opening tag.
