AXiSS Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I see a lot of pages where the login and register forms are set up where the text is right aligned next to the forms and it is all centered. I think this is done with CSS somehow, but dont know how. Can I get some help on how to create one of these aesthetic form setups?

AndyB Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 view-source shows the html and the CSS can be viewed as well. That'll explain it all. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32623-simple-formtext-alignment/#findComment-153232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjakreborn Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 http://jeffhowden.com/code/css/forms/I found this very helpful awhile back, when I started using tables for forms themselves. I got tired of doing it, so I did some research and found that, it solved all my problems, even for small login forms, and allowed me to branch off to even better more customized styles. Read that slowly, and understand it all, then you shouldn't have problem with form styling even more, it even covers cross browser issues.

cmgmyr Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Try this out.
