wcr one Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: seattle Insane since: Mar 2001	posted 09-25-2001 23:47 Does nn4.x allow this following piece of code? more specifically should it be showing the checkbox? I was using the <span> to sort of set the inline spacing using position, but when I wrap the checkbox or text box in this I don't get the accompanying input box. <span class=check1>Head <INPUT type="checkbox" name="EPigHead" value="yes"></span> just want to make sure I was not missing something obvious, and would be able to blame my problems on nn and not myself for not knowing how to get around my problem. thanks wcr one

Apparently Shitscape doesn't like your <SPAN> tags. Put all form elements in a table instead...

NN4 will not let you break forms across absolutely positioned elements. All elements must be inside the same container with the form. You could try using distinct forms for user input and use a form with hidden fields to perform the actual submit.

interesting. I needed to keep away from using tables for position/juxtaposition, and am a bit dissapointed with this. thanks for the info hlaford.
