Forms beside each other
Hi
How do I make FORMs show up beside each other, instead of below? I'm trying to add the Babelfish translation to http://www.supernaturalwoman.com, and each language requires a new form (because I want a small graphic flag for each language). How can I use CSS to change the FORM behavior?
Thanks!

Use ID for each form. Or for the DIV within each form.

I understand how I can change the behavior of FORM, but what specifically do I change to make them appear side by side? Float? Or do I need to specifically state an absolute position?

... um?
or
And then yes, just like anything else, once it's in a box, you can either position it absolutely or relatively. Float is usually the most effective.
I'm sorry, Peter, from the comments you've left elsewhere, I thought you understood CSS at a different level than you do. My apologies.

No problems. I've learned quite a bit in the last little while by reading various sites and manipulating that navigation list menu to do my bidding. I should have made what I was asking a bit clearer.
I tried playing around with float and various other possiblities, but it looks like the only way is to state an absolute position. Yuk.
Instead, I've re-looked at what I'm trying to do, and I've come up with a simpler method to achieve the same result.
Thanks!

What was your solution?

Side-step the problem all together. I tested calling Babelfish directly with parameters embedded in the URL, similar to what I did on the DPR Web Tools Search page. Now, instead of a form it's just a hyperlinked image.
